Methyl Methacrylate Monomer (MMA) from China
Pure methyl methacrylate (MMA) is a colorless, volatile liquid monomer classified under HTS 2916.14.2020 as an ester of methacrylic acid. It serves as the essential building block for producing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plastics and resins. This chemically defined unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acid ester falls squarely within Chapter 29 heading 2916.

Import Tips
• Provide detailed chemical purity analysis and CAS number (80-62-6) documentation to confirm classification as pure MMA monomer
• Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) showing stabilizer content does not exceed transport/preservation limits per Chapter 29 note (f)
• Verify inhibitor/stabilizer levels; excessive additives may shift classification to mixtures under 3824 if not 'necessary for transport'
