Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Copolymer Pellets from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• 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
