Crosslinked Acrylic Microbeads from Mexico
Highly crosslinked polymethyl methacrylate microbeads used in cosmetics and chromatography. Despite the crosslinking, the polymer remains an acrylic polymer in primary form, and the chemical modification does not create a specific subheading. It is classified under the 'Other' tariff item as it is not specifically named elsewhere.

Import Tips
• Confirm the microbeads are in primary forms (e.g
• powder) and not mixed into cosmetic preparations, which would shift classification to Chapter 33
• Have documentation on the degree of crosslinking and monomer composition to support classification
• Verify whether the microbeads meet the definition of 'plastics' under Chapter 39 note 1, as they must be capable of being formed
