The product is indicated for use as a raw material for polymides resin synthesis. It is said to increase heat-resistance and plasticity for polymides resin.

The applicable subheading for BPI will be 2925.19.4200, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Imides and their derivatives; salts thereof: Other: Aromatic: Other.. The rate of duty will be 6.5 percent ad valorem.
