Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 3908 when importing polyamides in primary forms, such as polyamide-6 granules used in the production of automotive parts. Understanding the specific type of polyamide is crucial for correct classification.
When deciding between HS-6 390810 and HS-6 390890, consider whether your polyamide falls under common types like polyamide-6 or if it’s a less common variant. HS-6 390810 covers specific polyamides, while HS-6 390890 is for those not elsewhere classified.
If your shipment includes polyamide-11 or polyamide-12 in primary forms, you will also need to classify it under HS-6 390810. For any polyamide that does not fit these specific types, use HS-6 390890.
