HS Code 3906
Acrylic Polymers in Primary Forms
HS code 3906 covers acrylic polymers in primary forms, such as PMMA resins used in the manufacturing of shatter-resistant glass substitutes and coatings.
HS Code 3906 — Acrylic Polymers in Primary Forms
This code covers acrylic polymers like Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in raw forms. These materials are prized for their transparency and weather resistance. They are the base components for acrylic sheets, high-quality paints, and weather-resistant coatings.
What's included
- Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)
- Polyacrylonitrile
- Super-absorbent polymers (SAP)
- Acrylic resins
What's excluded
- Acrylic artist paints → use
3213(Paints in sets or retail tubes are in Chapter 32.)
Common examples
- PMMA granules for lens injection
- Acrylate dispersion for leather finishing
- SAP powder for diapers
- Acrylic resin for clear coatings
Frequently asked questions
What is SAP used for?
Super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) are acrylic polymers used in hygiene products like nappies (diapers) to absorb fluids.
Trade & shipping notes
- Typical duty range: 0% - 6.5%
- Documentation: CoA should specify the type of acrylic polymer (e.g., PMMA) to determine the 6-digit code.
- Typical shipping mode: FCL
