Clear MBS Copolymer Beads for PVC Toughening from Japan
High-clarity MBS copolymer beads in primary form, with precise 95%+ comonomer composition of methyl methacrylate, butadiene, and styrene. This material is explicitly named in subheading 3903.90.1000 for import classification. Essential for producing transparent, impact-resistant PVC sheets and films.

Import Tips
• Require supplier COA (Certificate of Analysis) specifying exact monomer ratios; segregate from generic styrene copolymers during customs exam
• Pitfall: misdeclaration as polystyrene (3903.11) leads to penalties - always specify MBS designation
