Import Tips
• Include FTIR or NMR analysis proving vinyl acetate dominance to comply with polymer classification notes
• Label as 'primary form' distinctly from emulsions, which may classify under 3905.91.30 if liquid
• Avoid misdeclaration as acrylic-dominant; acrylic >50% shifts to 3906.90 subheadings
