You indicate that, subsequent to importation, the pellets will undergo further processing by your client's customer, prior to sale to and use by injection molders.

Pursuant to Note 7 and Note 6(b) to Chapter 39, HTSUS, the applicable subheading for the subject product will be 3908.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: "Polyamides in primary forms: Polyamide-6, -11, -12, -6,6, -6,9, -6,10 or -6,12." The rate of duty will be 6.3 percent ad valorem.

This merchandise may be subject to the requirements of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
