Product classification
HS code for Super glue: 3506.10
Glues or adhesives, prepared, products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding a net weight of 1kg.
Classification of super glue under HS 3506.10
Super glue, typically consisting of cyanoacrylate adhesives, is classified under HS code 3506.10. This code is part of Chapter 35, which covers albuminoidal substances, modified starches, glues, and enzymes. Heading 3506 applies to prepared glues and other prepared adhesives not elsewhere specified. The specific subheading 3506.10 is reserved for products suitable for use as glues or adhesives that are put up for retail sale in packages not exceeding a net weight of 1 kilogram. This classification is determined by two main factors: the chemical preparation of the substance as an adhesive and the packaging format. If the product is marketed to consumers for household or repair use and meets the weight restriction, it must be classified here. The chemical composition, while important for the general heading, is secondary to the retail packaging requirement for this specific subheading. This ensures that consumer-grade adhesives are tracked separately from industrial bulk shipments.

Codes often confused with 3506.10
Common mistake. Super glue is frequently misclassified under 3506.91, which is for adhesives based on polymers. While chemically accurate, 3506.91 is only for bulk or non-retail packaging. Another common error is 3214.10, which covers glaziers' putty and resin cements; however, super glue is a liquid adhesive rather than a thick mastic or filler, necessitating its placement in 3506.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
