Polyurethane Resin for Coatings from Japan
A primary form polyurethane polymer used as a base resin in industrial coatings and paints. It falls under HTS 3909.50.5000 as 'Other' polyurethanes in primary forms, meeting the criteria where polyurethane monomer units contribute over 95% by weight. This classification applies to unmodified polyurethane resins not specified elsewhere in the series.

Import Tips
• Verify monomer composition via lab analysis to confirm 95%+ polyurethane units for accurate classification under 3909.50.5000
• Provide certificates of analysis (COA) showing primary form and no chemical modification to avoid reclassification
