U.S. imports of ethylene-vinyl acetate (eva) copolymers in primary forms (SITC 57120) totaled $16.6M in April 2026, traded with 22 countries.
Importers of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers in Primary Forms paid $770K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 8.7% on $8.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers in Primary Forms imports of $16.6M in April 2026 ran 16% above the year-to-date monthly average of $14.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataEthylene-vinyl acetate copolymers — widely traded as EVA resin — occupy a commercial niche between flexible polyethylene and rubber, valued for their low-temperature flexibility, clarity, and adhesion properties. EVA is a critical input for hot-melt adhesives, solar panel encapsulant films, foam footwear midsoles, and flexible packaging. The vinyl acetate content percentage is a key specification that affects both end-use performance and, in some cases, customs classification boundaries between EVA and other ethylene copolymers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. At very high vinyl acetate content, a product may shift classification toward vinyl acetate polymer headings rather than ethylene polymer headings. Importers should confirm the comonomer ratio on the certificate of analysis and consult a licensed customs broker to ensure the correct heading is applied.
Solar panel manufacturing (encapsulant film), athletic and casual footwear (foam midsoles), hot-melt adhesive compounding, and flexible packaging are the primary demand sectors. Shifts in solar installation activity and footwear production volumes can meaningfully influence import flows.
