Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Copolymer Pellets
Transparent SAN copolymer pellets used for injection molding applications. These pellets consist of styrene and acrylonitrile monomers where both units contribute 95% or more by weight of the total polymer content, meeting the specific subheading requirements for 3903.20.00.00. Primarily supplied in 25kg bags for industrial processing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily polystyrene with minimal acrylonitrile
Polymers where styrene monomer predominates over acrylonitrile fall under polystyrene homopolymers rather than named copolymers.
If chemically modified SAN
Chemically modified copolymers not specifically provided for are classified under 'Other' in ethylene copolymer series per subheading note (a)(3).
If blended with other polymers
Polymer blends not meeting the 95% threshold for named copolymer are classified by predominant monomer under other polyester headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify monomer composition via certificate of analysis showing styrene-acrylonitrile units comprising ≥95% by weight to qualify under this specific subheading
• Ensure proper SDS (Safety Data Sheets) accompany shipments as these are hazardous materials under DOT regulations
• Avoid misclassification as general polystyrene (3903.11) by confirming copolymer content exceeds simple homopolymer specifications
