9902.11.01 - Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (other than those in aqueous dispersions), containing 50 percent or more by weight of vinyl acetate monomer (CAS No. 24937-78-8) (provided for in subheading 3905.29.00)

This HTS classification, specifically HTS Code 9902.11.01, pertains to certain ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers. The defining characteristic for inclusion under this provision is that the copolymer must contain 50 percent or more by weight of vinyl acetate monomer and must not be in an aqueous dispersion. The CAS number 24937-78-8 is provided for precise identification of this specific chemical substance. While the primary material is EVA copolymer, the key differentiator for this temporary provision is its specific composition and physical form.

This particular entry is situated within Chapter 99, which encompasses temporary legislation and modifications. Unlike the permanent classifications found in Chapters 1-97, Chapter 99 codes are enacted for specific periods and are often related to trade agreements, quotas, or other temporary import restrictions. Therefore, HTS Code 9902.11.01 is not a direct classification of a product based solely on its material or function, but rather a temporary designation applied to a specific type of EVA copolymer that may be subject to special import conditions or limitations.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. This means that once a product meets the criteria for HTS Code 9902.11.01, it is fully classified under this provision. Classification decisions for this code would therefore focus on verifying the percentage of vinyl acetate monomer and confirming that the material is not an aqueous dispersion, in addition to ensuring it aligns with the underlying tariff provision referenced (subheading 3905.29.00).
