Partially Hydrolyzed PVA 1788 Resin from Japan

PVA 1788 resin features 88% hydrolysis, containing notable unhydrolyzed acetate groups, making it suitable for packaging films and paper coatings. This primary form polymer is imported as free-flowing powder. It qualifies for HTS 3905.30.00.00 due to its explicit inclusion of poly(vinyl alcohol) with unhydrolyzed acetate groups.

Import Tips

• Submit certificates of analysis confirming acetate content and hydrolysis ratio to validate 3905.30 classification

• Use ISBP documentation standards for polymer purity declarations

• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'adhesive grade' which could trigger reclassification to Chapter 35
