Polyvinylidene Chloride Elastomer (PVDC) from Canada
PVDC elastomer is a halogenated olefin polymer with elastomeric properties, used in primary forms for food packaging films and coatings, classified under HTS 3904.90.1000. It meets the criteria as 'other' elastomeric polymers where vinylidene chloride monomer exceeds 95% by weight. Its high chlorine content distinguishes it from standard PVC.

Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis or manufacturer specs confirming elastomeric nature and 95% monomer purity
• Label shipments clearly as 'primary forms' to prevent confusion with finished films under 3920
