3904.90.50.00/Polyvinylidene Chloride Resin PVDC/Canada

Polyvinylidene Chloride Resin PVDC from Canada

Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) resin is a halogenated olefin polymer used primarily for food packaging films due to its excellent barrier properties against oxygen and moisture. It falls under HTS 3904.90.5000 as a primary form polymer of a halogenated olefin (vinylidene chloride), classified in 'Other' since it does not meet the 95% monomer threshold for specific copolymers in earlier subheadings.

Import Tips

• Verify polymer composition via lab testing to confirm >95% PVDC monomer content per subheading note (a)(1) to avoid reclassification

• Provide manufacturer's technical data sheets documenting primary form (granules/powder) and CAS number for customs clearance

• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as PVC, which shifts to 3904.10; ensure no plasticizers exceed limits if applicable
