Polymethyl Methacrylate Resin Pellets from Japan
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
