Nylon 6 Resin Pellets

Polyamide-6 resin in the form of translucent pellets used for injection molding in industrial applications. This product falls under HTS 3908.10.00.00 because it is polyamide-6 where the caprolactam monomer unit contributes over 95% by weight of the total polymer content, meeting the specific subheading criteria for named polyamides in primary forms.

Alternative Classifications

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

3908Same rate: 31.3%

If copolymer with less than 95% single monomer

Copolymers not meeting the 95% threshold for named polyamides classify under 'other polyamides' based on predominant monomer unit.

3901.10Lower: 16.5% vs 31.3%

If chemically modified with significant additives

Chemically modified polymers not specifically covered elsewhere go to 'Other' in their series, potentially shifting from named polyamide designation.

2710.12Lower: 17% vs 31.3%

If imported as oil-extended polymer

Oil-extended synthetic polymers are excluded from Chapter 39 and classified under petroleum oils.
