Melamine-Glyoxal Resin from Germany
Melamine-glyoxal resin is an amino-resin variant produced from melamine and glyoxal, with these monomers contributing over 95% by weight of the polymer content. It is imported as a primary liquid resin and is used in paper coatings and textile treatments. This resin falls under tariff item 3909.39.00 as an 'Other' amino-resin, not specifically named in other subheadings.

Import Tips
• Confirm that melamine and glyoxal monomers together exceed 95% by weight of the resin to ensure classification under this item
• If the resin is in aqueous solution, verify that the solvent weight does not exceed 50% of the total solution, as this would exclude it from Chapter 39 under chapter note 2(e)
• Provide the CBSA with the resin's technical data sheet, including monomer ratios and physical form
