Polyoxymethylene Homopolymer Resin

Polyoxymethylene (POM) homopolymer, such as Delrin, is a high-molecular-weight polyacetal where the acetal monomer units contribute over 95% by weight, meeting subheading note (a)(1). It is supplied in primary form as pellets for injection molding into precision engineering parts. Classified under 3907.10.00.00 as a pure polyacetal.

Alternative Classifications

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

3907Same rate: 31.5%

If containing less than 95% acetal units blended with other monomers

Copolymers or blends not meeting homopolymer purity fall under 'Other polyethers' based on predominant monomer per subheading note (a)(4).

3901.10Lower: 16.5% vs 31.5%

If chemically modified, like POM with additives altering properties

Chemically modified polyacetals are classified in 'Other' subheadings or by base polymer if no specific fit, per subheading note (a)(3).

3910.00.00.00Higher: 38% vs 31.5%

If supplied as liquid solution rather than solid primary form

Silicones in primary forms are separate, but misclassified polymers in solution may shift to Chapter 39 unspecified headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify monomer content exceeds 95% by weight via lab analysis to confirm homopolymer status per subheading note (a)(1)

Provide certificate of analysis (COA) documenting primary form (pellets/resin) and no chemical modification

Avoid misclassification as copolymer by ensuring predominant monomer documentation
