Acrylamide Monomer
Pure acrylamide (CH2=CHCONH2) is a chemically defined acyclic amide used primarily as a monomer in polymerization reactions. It falls under HTS 2924.19.11.10 as an acyclic amide-function compound, specifically acrylamide, meeting Chapter 29 note (a) for separate chemically defined organic compounds.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as aqueous solution >10% for specific industrial applications
Polymerization initiators and reactive polymers containing acrylamide units classify under heading 3808, later in numerical order per Chapter 29 note.
If impure or containing additives rendering it suitable for specific uses beyond general chemical purposes
Mixtures not qualifying as chemically defined under Chapter 29 notes fall into prepared chemical products of 3824.
If imported primarily as an intermediate for cyclanic/cyclenic alcohol/ether manufacture
End-use determination may shift classification from chemical structure to specific functional use under different headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and confirm 99%+ purity to avoid reclassification as mixtures under Chapter 38
• Include certificate of analysis verifying chemical identity as acrylamide to meet Chapter 29 chemically defined compound requirements
• Declare proper UN hazard class (6.1 toxic) and ensure packaging complies with DOT/IATA regulations for import
