Urea-Formaldehyde Resin Powder

Urea-formaldehyde resin in powdered primary form, produced by condensing urea and formaldehyde, used primarily in wood adhesives and particleboard production. It falls under HTS 3909.10.00.00 as a urea resin in primary form, meeting the 95% monomer content requirement for the named polymer. This thermosetting resin hardens irreversibly upon heating.

Alternative Classifications

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

3504.00Lower: 14% vs 41.5%

If chemically modified or containing proteins

Modified glues or protein-based adhesives shift to Chapter 35 for prepared glues, not primary polymers.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 41.5%

If imported as ready-to-use adhesive solution

Prepared chemical preparations for retail use fall under 3824, excluding primary resin forms.

3909Same rate: 41.5%

If blended with other amino-resins below 95% purity

Other amino-resins cover blends where urea monomer does not predominate by weight.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify monomer composition exceeds 95% by weight via lab analysis to confirm classification; provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for handling hazardous polymerization risks; declare exact dry weight excluding solvents to avoid duty miscalculation
