Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) Granules from Mexico
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) granules serve as the primary polymer feedstock for carbon fiber production and synthetic textiles. The acrylonitrile monomer contributes 95% or more by weight, but since there is no specific subheading for PAN, it is classified under the 'Other' acrylic polymers tariff item. It is in primary granular form.

Import Tips
• Confirm the acrylonitrile monomer content is 95% or more by weight to avoid classification as a copolymer
• Note that if the granules are spun into fibers, they would fall under Section XI (textiles), not Chapter 39
• Ensure the granules are not mixed with solvents or plasticizers that could change their classification
