Polymethyl Methacrylate Resin Pellets

Transparent thermoplastic pellets made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a pure acrylic polymer where the monomer units contribute over 95% by weight. Classified under HTS 3906.90.2000 as acrylic polymers in primary forms, other than those specifically named elsewhere. Used primarily for injection molding into sheets or parts.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3906.90.50.00Lower: 29.2% vs 41.3%

If chemically modified or containing additives

Chemically modified acrylic polymers or those not meeting the 95% monomer threshold fall into the 'Other' subheading per subheading note (a)(3).

3907.91Lower: 16.5% vs 41.3%

If predominant monomer is unsaturated polyester

Polymers where unsaturated polyester units predominate by weight over acrylic are classified by the dominant monomer under subheading note (a)(4).

3901.30Lower: 15.3% vs 41.3%

If it's an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer

Specific copolymers like EVA with 95%+ comonomer content are directed to their named subheadings, not acrylic polymers.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify monomer content exceeds 95% PMMA via lab testing to confirm classification under this subheading

Provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting dry weight and absence of additives over 5%

Avoid misclassification as copolymers by specifying exact polymer composition on commercial invoice
