Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ethylene-vinyl acetate units ≥95% total
Named copolymer subheading 3901.30 requires ≥95% per note (a)(2).
If methyl acrylate becomes predominant monomer
Predominant single comonomer unit dictates classification per note (a)(4).
If contains plasticizers > specified levels for non-primary forms
Subheading note defines plasticizers; plasticized plates/films go to 3920.43.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare all three monomers; vinyl acetate presence keeps in 3905 despite ethylene dominance
• Granules must be free of additives >2% to stay primary form
