Final code reached
This is a complete 8-digit customs code. There is no further code choice to make below it.
This code covers unprocessed polymers of vinyl esters and other vinyl polymers. It does not cover polymers of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins, polyvinyl acetate, copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol, or the specified polyvinylformal with a molecular weight of >= 10.000, but <= 40.000 and the stated acetyl- and hydroxy-group contents.
For example
Official tariff text
Polymers of vinyl esters and other vinyl polymers, in primary forms (excl. those of vinyl chloride or other halogenated olefins, poly"vinyl acetate", copolymers and poly"vinyl alcohol", whether or not containing unhydrolised acetate groups, and poly"vinyl formal" in blocks of irregular shape, lumps, powders, granules, flakes and similar bulk forms, of a molecular weight of >= 10.000 but <= 40.000 and containing by weight >= 9,5% but <= 13% of acetyl groups evaluated as vinyl acetate and >= 5% but <= 6,5% of hydroxy groups evaluated as vinyl alcohol)

The spaces only make the code easier to read. Customs declarations normally use the unspaced form, 39059990.

Classification decides the rate here: from 0.0% to 6.5%.
Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.
Preferential rates exist for goods originating in Andorra; San Marino; Türkiye; Economic Partnership Agreements; CARIFORUM except Haiti; Comoros (excluding Mayotte), Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and dependencies and Zimbabwe; Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia; Western Sahara; 52 more origins. Whether you can use one depends on the origin rules for the goods and on the documentation you can show.
Check this code in the official EU TARIC databaseA tariff quota is recorded for this code. This does not say whether any of the quota is still available. It covers goods originating in any country except Belarus and Russian Federation.
This is recorded on a more detailed code below this one, so it may not cover your goods.

Before you use the code
The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.
Worth comparing
Codes that sit close to this one, for when the material itself could be different.
That code covers unprocessed copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate, whereas this code excludes copolymers.
That code covers unprocessed copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, whereas this code excludes polymers of vinyl chloride and copolymers.
That code is specifically for polyvinylformal in the stated irregular forms and with the stated molecular-weight, acetyl-group and hydroxy-group ranges; this code is for the other products in the group.
Duty rates shown here are estimates, read from official EU / Danish, Norwegian and UK tariff data for orientation only. Confirm the current rate with SKAT, TARIC, Norwegian Customs or the UK Online Trade Tariff before you file. The rate you pay can also depend on the country of origin. These are base customs duties only: import VAT, excise duties, anti-dumping duties and safeguard or quota measures are not included.
