Alternative Classifications

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

3907.30.00Higher: 41.1% vs 31.5%

If standard bisphenol A epoxy resins

Epoxy resins of bisphenol A specifically covered in 3907.30, not general thermosets in 3911.

3909.40.00Higher: 41.5% vs 31.5%

If phenolic-epoxy hybrid with 95% phenolic content

Phenolic polymers named in 3909 series take priority if monomer threshold met.

3926.90.99Lower: 22.8% vs 31.5%

If as finished encapsulant parts

Articles like molded electronic components classified in 3926 by function, not raw resin.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit FTIR spectra confirming thermoset crosslinking potential to support 3911 classification

Avoid blending with thermoplastics over 5%; copolymers may reclassify under predominant monomer rule

Declare as 'not for medical use' if applicable to bypass stricter FDA regs on epoxy imports
