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
