Urea-Formaldehyde Resin Powder from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• 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
