Acrylic Elastomeric Polymer Resin

A primary form acrylic polymer resin classified as elastomeric due to its rubber-like elasticity and recovery properties after stretching. It meets the criteria under HTS 3906.90.10.00 because it is an acrylic polymer where the acrylic monomer units contribute over 95% by weight, and it exhibits elastomeric behavior as specified in the subheading. Used in adhesives and sealants.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3906.90.50.00Lower: 29.2% vs 35%

If non-elastomeric

Lacks elastomeric stretch/recovery properties, falling into general 'Other' acrylic polymers subheading.

4002.99.00.00Same rate: 35%

If synthetic rubber-dominant

If non-acrylic monomers predominate by weight, classifies as other synthetic rubber rather than acrylic elastomers.

3901.30Lower: 15.3% vs 35%

If ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer

Specific copolymers like EVA with 95%+ named comonomers shift to Chapter 39 heading 3901.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify monomer composition via lab analysis to confirm 95%+ acrylic content for elastomeric classification under subheading note (a)(1)

Provide certificates of analysis (COA) documenting elastomeric properties to avoid misclassification as non-elastomeric acrylics

Avoid common pitfall of blending with other polymers exceeding 5%, which shifts to predominant monomer subheading
