Import Tips
• Provide FTIR spectroscopy or NMR analysis confirming vinyl acetate copolymer structure per subheading note (a)(2)
• Label clearly as 'primary form' to avoid classification as finished plastic products in Chapter 39 headings 3920+
• Watch for reclassification if packaged for retail; bulk shipments maintain primary form status
