HS Code 3907.30 – Epoxide resins; in primary forms
HS code 3907.30 is the 6-digit subheading for epoxide resins, in primary forms. It is used for bisphenol A epoxy resin, bisphenol F epoxy resin, novolac epoxy resin, cycloaliphatic epoxy resin and epoxy resin liquid.
What HS 3907.30 covers
This HS code covers epoxide resins, commonly known as epoxy resins, in primary forms such as liquid resins, solid flakes, or pellets. Epoxy resins are thermosetting polymers highly valued for their exceptional adhesive properties, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and electrical insulation. They are crucial raw materials in a vast array of high-performance applications, including coatings (protective and decorative), adhesives (structural bonding), composites (aerospace, wind energy), electrical and electronic encapsulation, and flooring. Major importers are typically countries with advanced manufacturing sectors in these areas, such as China, Germany, and the USA. Exporters often include nations with strong chemical production capabilities like the USA, Germany, and South Korea. The trade in epoxy resins is driven by the continuous demand for durable, high-strength materials across critical industries, making them indispensable for modern engineering and construction.

Codes often confused with 3907.30
Common mistake. This code might be confused with 3909 (amino-resins, phenolic resins) if the specific chemical structure is not clearly identified, or with 3910 (silicones) if used in similar high-performance applications.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 390730, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 390730 in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 15% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 9.7% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
