Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify redispersible nature doesn't constitute 'prepared binder' under 3506
Related Products under HTS 3905.29.00.00
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer (EVA) Pellets
Granular EVA copolymer pellets with 18% vinyl acetate content, used for hot-melt adhesives and foam production. Classified under 3905.29.00.00 as a vinyl acetate copolymer where the vinyl acetate units contribute less than 95% by weight, falling into 'Other' per subheading note (a)(4) based on predominant monomer comparison within the series.
Vinyl Acetate-Acrylate Copolymer Resin
Powdered copolymer resin of vinyl acetate (60%) and acrylate esters, used in paints and adhesives. Falls under 3905.29.00.00 as 'Other' vinyl acetate copolymers since neither monomer reaches 95% and vinyl acetate predominates over other units in the 3905 series.
EVA Copolymer for Footwear Foam Grades
High-foam EVA copolymer beads (28% VA), primary form for injection molding shoe midsoles. Under 3905.29.00.00 as other vinyl acetate copolymers not meeting 95% monomer purity.
Vinyl Acetate-Butyl Acrylate Emulsion Polymer Dry
Dried redispersible powder from VA-BA emulsion copolymer (55% VA), for tile adhesives. Primary form under 3905.29.00.00 as other copolymers.
VA-EO Copolymer (Vinyl Acetate-Ethylene Oxide)
Specialty copolymer pellets with 80% VA and ethylene oxide units for water-soluble films. 'Other' under 3905.29.00.00 due to copolymer nature.
High VA Content Copolymer Pellets for Adhesives
Pellets with 92% vinyl acetate and minor acrylates for packaging adhesives. Still 'Other' at 3905.29.00.00 since not pure poly(vinyl acetate).
