HS Code 3906Acrylic polymers in primary forms
2 six-digit codes · Heading 6 of 26 in Chapter 39 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 3906 covers acrylic polymers in primary forms, the raw polymer made before any finished product is shaped from it. Use this page to pick between its two subheadings and to find where related goods are classified.
Heading 3906 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Acrylic polymers in primary forms” classify either at 390610 or at 390690, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 6 of 26 in Chapter 39, Plastics and articles thereof, which runs to 131 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 3906 covers
Heading 3906 is a customs tariff heading in the Harmonized System, the shared classification that customs offices use to name goods. You may also see it called HSN code 3906, which is the same heading under the name some traders use.
"Primary forms" means the polymer is still a raw material. It has not yet been made into a sheet, a tube or a finished article. Buyers of these acrylic polymers are usually plastics processors, compounders and makers of coatings or other products that start from a basic polymer.
HS 390610 vs 390690: which code to use
The heading has two subheadings. The split depends on one thing: whether the polymer is poly(methyl methacrylate). That plastic is also known as PMMA.
To choose, check the chemical name of your product. Then match it to the list below.
- If the polymer is PMMA, use 390610. If it is any other acrylic polymer, use 390690.
- If you are unsure of the chemistry, check the supplier's data sheet or try the HS code classifier before you file.
What is not classified under 3906
Many plastics look alike but sit in other headings. The sister headings in this part of the chapter cover other polymer families, so check them if your product is not acrylic.
Finished or semi-finished plastic goods also fall outside 3906. A sheet is no longer a primary form.
- Polyesters, polycarbonates and epoxide resins go to heading 3907.
Other headings in Chapter 39
Heading 3906 is one part of the chapter on plastics. Use the lists on this page to move between polymer headings. If you are sourcing a raw material, the headings from 3901 to 3914 cover polymers in primary forms. The later headings cover waste, semi-finished shapes and finished plastic articles.
