2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate Import | High-Purity Monomer for Resin Production

The import of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2EHA) involves cross-border trade governed by international regulations, tariffs, and quality standards, with flow patterns reflecting regional supply-demand imbalances. Major importing regions include Europe and North America, where domestic production may not meet demand from adhesives and coatings industries, leading to imports from Asian producers—particularly China, which has significant excess capacity, including E Plus Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 50,000-ton annual output. Import procedures require compliance with customs documentation, including certificates of analysis (confirming 99% purity), material safety data sheets (MSDS), and dangerous goods declarations, as 2EHA is classified as a flammable liquid. Tariffs vary by country: the EU imposes duties under TARIC codes, while the US uses HTS codes, with preferential rates for some trade agreements. Imported 2EHA must meet regional quality standards, such as REACH in Europe or FDA in the US, ensuring it is free from harmful impurities. Logistics play a key role, with sea freight dominating for large volumes (via containerized drums or tankers) and air freight for urgent, small orders. Importers often partner with certified suppliers to ensure consistency, as variability in purity or inhibitor levels can disrupt production. E Plus Chemical facilitates imports by providing all necessary documentation, working with global logistics partners, and ensuring compliance with target market regulations, making its high-quality 2EHA accessible to international customers.
