Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If low molecular weight liquid variants
Polyethylene polymers in primary forms include low MW liquids; PMMP not meeting solid polymer criteria may shift here by predominant monomer.
If imported as nucleic acid derivative
Certain heterocyclic phosphorus compounds classified as pharmaceuticals/organics in 2934 rather than polymers.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Submit GPC chromatograms proving molecular weight distribution consistent with PMMP; declare exact CAS number if available; beware of misclassification as 3911.90 if minor impurities exceed documentation thresholds

Poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate) Resin Pellets
Poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate), a phosphorus-containing polymer, is supplied in primary form as translucent pellets for processing into flame-retardant plastics. It falls under HTS 3911.20.00.00 as a specifically named polymer in primary forms (pellets) not elsewhere classified in Chapter 39. This material meets the subheading note requiring the named monomer units to contribute 95% or more by weight.
PMMP Flame-Retardant Polymer Granules
PMMP (Poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate)) granules are primary-form thermoplastic resin used in engineering plastics for fire safety. Classified under HTS 3911.20.00.00 as the specifically enumerated phosphonate polymer meeting 95% monomer content requirement. These granules require melt processing into final flame-retardant components.
