HS-6 · Subheading
391120
Petroleum resins, poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate), in primary forms
Heading 3911 — Petroleum resins, coumarone-indene resins, polyterpenes, polysulphides, polysulphones and similar products of chemical synthesis n.e.c. in chapter 39, in primary forms
Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 391120 when importing or exporting petroleum resins in primary forms, such as those used in adhesives or coatings. For example, a shipment of liquid petroleum resin intended for use in road construction would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers petroleum resins, which are synthetic resins derived from petroleum. Unlike HS-6 391190, which includes other synthetic resins not specifically classified, 391120 focuses solely on petroleum-based products.
Petroleum resins are often used in various applications, including inks, paints, and varnishes. If you're dealing with poly(1,3-phenylene methylphosphonate) in its primary form, this is the correct classification.
When considering similar products, note that HS-6 391140 includes coumarone-indene resins. These resins are distinct from petroleum resins and are used in different applications, such as rubber compounding.
