Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Resin Pellets from Japan
PMMA resin pellets are acrylic polymers in primary granular form used for injection molding and extrusion into sheets or parts. They fall under HTS 3906.90.5000 as 'other' acrylic polymers not specifically named elsewhere in heading 3906, meeting the 95% monomer content rule for acrylic polymers.

Import Tips
• Verify monomer composition via lab testing to confirm 95%+ acrylic content for proper Chapter 39 classification
• Provide supplier certificates of analysis (COA) documenting polymer specs to avoid reclassification during CBP exam
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as copolymers if predominant monomer doesn't meet subheading criteria
