About HS Code 390810
This specific HS code covers a range of common polyamides (nylons) in primary forms (pellets, granules), including PA 6, PA 11, PA 12, PA 6,6, PA 6,9, PA 6,10, and PA 6,12. These are high-performance engineering thermoplastics known for their excellent mechanical properties, toughness, wear resistance, and chemical resistance. They are widely used in automotive components, electrical and electronic parts, industrial machinery, consumer goods, and textile fibers. Major importers are countries with strong manufacturing sectors in these areas, such as China, Germany, the USA, and Japan. Exporters are leading chemical and polymer manufacturers from Europe, North America, and Asia. Key aspects of trade include the demand for lightweight and durable materials across various industries, the specific performance requirements of each polyamide type (e.g., PA 6,6 for high strength, PA 12 for flexibility), and the ongoing innovation in polymer blends and composites.
Products Under This Code
Polyamide 6 pellets, Polyamide 6,6 granules, Polyamide 12 resin, Polyamide 11 chips, Glass-filled PA 6,6, Flame-retardant PA 6, Nylon 6 fiber-grade resin
Real World Examples
DuPont Zytel (PA 6,6), BASF Ultramid (PA 6, PA 6,6), Arkema Rilsan (PA 11, PA 12), DSM Akulon (PA 6, PA 6,6), Lanxess Durethan (PA 6, PA 6,6)
Common Misclassification
This code is very specific to certain polyamide types; misclassification can occur if other polyamides (390890) are incorrectly grouped here or if the specific "nylon" type is not accurately identified. It could also be confused with other engineering plastics like polyacetals (390710) or polycarbonates (390740).
Products Classified Under 3908.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Plastics & Rubber industry.
Trade Overview
Top importers include China, Germany, and the USA, with major exporters being Germany, the USA, and Japan.
