Dicyandiamide-Formaldehyde Resin from Germany
Dicyandiamide-formaldehyde resin is a thermoset amino-resin produced from dicyandiamide and formaldehyde monomers, which together exceed 95% by weight. It is imported in primary powder form and is used in flame-retardant laminates and specialty adhesives. This resin falls under tariff item 3909.39.00 as an 'Other' amino-resin, since it is not specifically named in other subheadings of heading 39.09.

Import Tips
• Confirm the resin is in primary powder form and that dicyandiamide and formaldehyde monomers exceed 95% by weight
• Declare the resin's flame-retardant application to the CBSA, as end-use may affect classification
• Keep records of the manufacturing process to demonstrate it is a true amino-resin, not a chemically modified polymer falling elsewhere
