Short Oil Alkyd Resin
A fast-drying alkyd resin with less than 40% vegetable oil (e.g., tall oil), supplied in primary liquid form for industrial baking enamels. HTS 3907.50.00.00 covers this as alkyd resins in primary forms, distinct from finished coatings.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for other polyesters if oil content too low
Subheading note (b)(1) classifies based on predominant monomer if not meeting pure alkyd criteria.
If water-thinned for paint applications
Water-based alkyd paints are varnishes in Chapter 32, regardless of primary form claims.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document exact oil percentage to confirm short oil status; avoid shipping in retail paint cans
• Common issue: customs querying if it's a Chapter 32 paint due to viscosity
