Products classified under HTS 3904.40.00.00
Vinyl Chloride-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Resin
This copolymer resin consists of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate monomers, with vinyl chloride comprising over 95% by weight, used primarily in coatings and adhesives. It falls under HTS 3904.40.00.00 as an 'other vinyl chloride copolymer' in primary form, distinct from specific copolymers like those in 3904.30. Supplied as free-flowing pellets for industrial processing.
Vinyl Chloride-Acrylic Copolymer Pellets
Pelletized copolymer of vinyl chloride and acrylic monomers, with vinyl chloride predominant (>50% by weight over other units), used in paints and sealants. Classified in HTS 3904.40.00.00 as other vinyl chloride copolymers not specifically named elsewhere. Primary form ensures it's not considered a finished article.
Vinyl Chloride-Maleic Anhydride Copolymer Powder
Fine powder copolymer of vinyl chloride and maleic anhydride, vinyl chloride >95% by weight, for adhesive formulations. Falls under HTS 3904.40.00.00 as other vinyl chloride copolymers per prefix rule in subheading note (a)(1). Primary form distinguishes from compounded products.
Functionalized Vinyl Chloride Copolymer Beads
Beads of vinyl chloride copolymer chemically modified with functional groups, still predominantly vinyl chloride, for specialty coatings. HTS 3904.40.00.00 per note (a)(3) for modified polymers not specifically covered. Primary beads form for downstream processing.
Vinyl Chloride-Styrene Copolymer Resin
Resin copolymer with vinyl chloride > styrene by weight, used in rigid container linings. Fits HTS 3904.40.00.00 as other vinyl chloride copolymer under predominant monomer rule. Supplied in primary flake form.
Vinyl Chloride-Butadiene Copolymer Latex Powder
Spray-dried powder from vinyl chloride-butadiene latex emulsion, vinyl chloride dominant, for paper coatings. HTS 3904.40.00.00 for other copolymers in primary dry form. Note (a)(4) governs multi-monomer classification.
Vinyl Chloride-Methacrylate Copolymer Granules
Granules of vinyl chloride copolymerized with methacrylate esters, used in medical device coatings. Classified HTS 3904.40.00.00 as unspecified copolymer with vinyl chloride lead monomer. Primary granules for extrusion.
Vinyl Chloride-Ethylene Copolymer Granules
Granular copolymer where vinyl chloride units predominate over ethylene, used for flexible films and packaging. HTS 3904.40.00.00 applies as an unspecified vinyl chloride copolymer in primary form. Meets Chapter 39 notes for copolymers not fitting specific subheadings.
Vinyl Chloride-Vinylidene Chloride Copolymer Blend
Blended copolymer pellets with vinyl chloride predominant but vinylidene chloride <95%, used in barrier films. Classified HTS 3904.40.00.00 as other copolymers not meeting 3904.30 specificity. Complies with Chapter 39 polymer classification hierarchy.
Vinyl Chloride-Vinyl Laurate Copolymer Flakes
Flake-form copolymer for plasticizer-free flooring, vinyl chloride >95% with vinyl laurate. HTS 3904.40.00.00 per prefix rule for high-purity copolymers. Primary form for calendering.
