Polymers of vinyl acetate or of other vinyl esters, in primary forms; other vinyl polymers in primary forms
6-digit subheadings (7)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
Poly(vinyl acetate); in aqueous dispersion, in primary forms
Poly(vinyl acetate); (other than in aqueous dispersion), in primary forms
Vinyl acetate copolymers; in aqueous dispersion, in primary forms
Vinyl acetate copolymers; (other than in aqueous dispersion), in primary forms
Poly(vinyl alcohol); whether or not containing unhydrolysed acetate groups
Vinyl acetate, vinyl ester polymers, vinyl polymers; n.e.c. in heading no. 3905, in primary forms, copolymers
Vinyl acetate, vinyl ester polymers, vinyl polymers; n.e.c. in heading no. 3905, in primary forms, other than copolymers
Chapter 39 classification notes
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Composite articles (e.g., plastic with textile lining) — classify by the material giving essential character. Silicone products are often misclassified here but belong in Chapter 39.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
