Polymer-Grade Styrene from China

Polymer-grade styrene is a high-purity form of styrene with over 99.7% purity and low levels of aldehydes and peroxides, specifically produced for polystyrene and ABS resin manufacturing. As a separate chemically defined cyclic hydrocarbon, it falls under tariff item 2902.50.00. The high purity does not affect classification, as it remains a single compound.
