Elastomeric Polyurethane for Footwear Sole Resin
Primary form elastomeric polyurethane resin pellets for reaction injection molding of flexible shoe soles. High rebound elastomeric properties with 97% polyurethane monomer content qualify it precisely under 3909.50.10.00.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If molded into rubber/plastic soles
Finished footwear parts move to Chapter 64, regardless of material origin.
If microcellular non-elastomer PU foam
Foamed but non-rubber-like PU for soles goes to 'Other'.
If pre-vulcanized elastomer
Synthetic rubber classification applies post-vulcanization.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify two-component system components separately if imported unreacted
• Finished molded soles classify under 6402.99+, not as primary resin
• Provide reaction profiles confirming elastomeric end properties
