Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vinyl acetate content below 95% by weight
Predominantly vinyl chloride monomer classifies as PVC homopolymer under 3904.10 rather than specified copolymer.
If chemically modified with plasticizers or stabilizers
Chemically modified polymers go to 'Other' subheadings per subheading note (a)(3), not specific copolymer designations.
If imported as blend with other polymers or additives
Polymer blends follow predominant monomer but mixtures with non-polymer substances fall under Chapter 38 preparations.
