About HS Code 391110
This HS code covers a specific group of hydrocarbon resins in primary forms, including petroleum resins, coumarone, indene or coumarone-indene resins, and polyterpenes. These resins are derived from petroleum fractions or natural terpenes and are primarily traded as tackifiers, binders, and processing aids. They are crucial components in adhesives, sealants, coatings, printing inks, and rubber compounding, enhancing properties like adhesion, water resistance, and processability. Importers are typically manufacturers in the packaging, automotive, construction, and tire industries. Exporters are often petrochemical companies. The international trade in these resins is driven by their cost-effectiveness and ability to improve the performance of various end products, making them essential additives in a wide range of industrial formulations.
Products Under This Code
C5 petroleum resins, C9 petroleum resins, Coumarone-indene resins, Polyterpene resins, Hydrogenated petroleum resins, Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) resins, Rosin modified hydrocarbon resins
Real World Examples
Neville Chemical Coumarone-Indene Resins, Eastman Hydrocarbon Resins, Kolon Industries Petroleum Resins, Arizona Chemical Polyterpene Resins
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with other synthetic resins like phenolic resins (390940) or epoxy resins (390730) if not specifically hydrocarbon-based, or with other petroleum products (Chapter 27) if not processed into resins.
Products Classified Under 3911.10
Industry
This code belongs to the Plastics & Rubber industry.
Trade Overview
China, the USA, and Japan are key players in both production and trade, with global demand from industrial sectors.
