3905.30.00.00/Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) 1799 Grade/China

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) 1799 Grade from China

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) 1799 is a water-soluble synthetic polymer with a hydrolysis degree of approximately 99%, produced from polyvinyl acetate through hydrolysis, retaining minimal unhydrolyzed acetate groups. It is supplied in primary form as white granular powder for industrial use in adhesives and textiles. Classified under HTS 3905.30.00.00 as it meets the definition of poly(vinyl alcohol) in primary forms.

Import Tips

• Verify hydrolysis degree and acetate content via lab testing to confirm classification under 3905.30; provide manufacturer's specification sheets showing monomer composition meets 95% PVA threshold

• Ensure proper labeling as 'primary form polymer' to avoid misclassification as finished articles

• Watch for copolymer blends exceeding acetate limits, which may shift to other vinyl polymer subheadings
