Polymethyl Methacrylate Resin Pellets from China

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.

Import Tips

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
