Vinyl Acetate-Vinyl Chloride Copolymer Resin
This copolymer resin contains over 50% vinyl acetate derivatives by weight, used primarily in adhesives and coatings. It falls under HTS 3905.91.10.00 as a primary form polymer meeting the subheading note for copolymers where vinyl acetate derivatives predominate. Supplied as granules or powder for industrial processing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vinyl chloride monomer predominates over 50% by weight
Copolymers shift to heading 3904 for vinyl chloride polymers when that unit exceeds vinyl acetate derivatives.
If for other vinyl copolymers with less than 50% vinyl acetate derivatives
Subheading requires 50%+ threshold; lower content falls into residual 'other' copolymers under 3905.99.
If chemically modified after polymerization
Per subheading note (a)(3), modified versions classify as 'Other' rather than specific copolymer subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify monomer composition via lab testing to confirm 50%+ vinyl acetate derivatives per subheading note (a)(2)
• Provide supplier certificates of analysis documenting weight percentages to avoid reclassification during customs exam
