Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If methyl methacrylate units >50% by weight
Predominant monomer (methacrylate) dictates classification to 3906 polymethyl methacrylate heading.
If pre-dispersed in paint vehicles
Paints/varnishes containing these polymers classify in Chapter 32, not raw polymers.
If imported in aqueous dispersion form
Liquid polymer dispersions excluded from primary solid forms in 3905.91.10.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use GPC testing to document molecular weight and monomer ratios for CBP verification
• Distinguish from methacrylates; VA must predominate or reclassifies to 3906 series
