About HS Code 390710

This HS code covers polyacetals, also known as polyoxymethylene (POM), in primary forms such as granules, pellets, or powders. POM is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic renowned for its excellent stiffness, low friction, high dimensional stability, and good chemical resistance. It is widely used as a replacement for metals in precision parts due to its strength and machinability. Key industries utilizing POM include automotive (gears, fuel system components), electronics (connectors, housings), consumer goods (zippers, buckles), and industrial machinery (bearings, rollers). Major importers are typically countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities in these sectors, such as Germany, China, and the USA. Exporters often include nations with strong chemical and polymer production industries like Japan, Germany, and the USA. The trade in polyacetals is driven by the demand for durable, lightweight, and high-performance engineering plastics that can withstand demanding operational environments.

Products Under This Code

POM homopolymer, POM copolymer, acetal granules, acetal pellets, acetal powder, low-friction POM, glass-filled POM

Real World Examples
