PA12 Polyamide-12 Powder
Fine powder form of polyamide-12 (laurolactam-based) used in selective laser sintering for 3D printing. HTS 3908.10.00.00 applies due to 95%+ laurolactam monomer content in this primary form polymer.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains comonomers below 95% threshold
Fails specific polyamide naming rule, defaults to classification by weight-predominant monomer unit in 'other polyamides'.
If for silicone polymers misidentified
Different polymer chemistry would place under silicones heading if testing disproves polyamide structure.
If used as paint/varnish pigment binder
Polyamides in paint preparations classify under Chapter 32, not primary forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Supply FTIR spectroscopy confirming monomer purity; declare particle size distribution; ensure powder isn't pre-compounded which could reclassify as compound
