Polyamide MXD6 Pellets from China
MXD6 polyamide pellets are a high-barrier resin produced from meta-xylylene diamine, used primarily in multi-layer packaging films to reduce oxygen permeability. They fall under tariff item 3908.90.00 as 'Other' polyamides in primary forms because their monomer composition does not match the specific polyamide subheadings. The pellets are in primary form, meeting the definition of plastics under Chapter 39.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pellets are clearly labelled as MXD6 polyamide with a technical data sheet showing monomer composition, as CBSA may verify classification under 3908.90.00
• Keep records of the resin's chemical makeup to support the 'Other' polyamide classification if challenged
• If importing from a country with a free trade agreement, verify the certificate of origin to claim a preferential duty rate
