Vinavil 221 White Glue Dispersion from China

Vinavil 221 is a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer aqueous dispersion used primarily as a base for white glues and adhesives in woodworking and paper bonding. It falls under HTS 3905.21.00.00 because it is a vinyl acetate copolymer supplied in aqueous dispersion form, meeting the subheading criteria where the named copolymer units contribute 95% or more by weight.

Import Tips

Verify monomer composition via supplier certificates to confirm 95%+ vinyl acetate copolymer content for proper classification under 3905.21

Ensure documentation specifies 'aqueous dispersion' status and primary form to avoid misclassification as finished adhesives in Chapter 35

Beware of dilution levels; excessive water may trigger reclassification if polymer content falls below predominant thresholds
