Compliance regimes on this code
Beyond the duty rate, these EU regimes attach to this code. Each verdict follows from the code alone; the goods themselves can still fall outside a regime.
Indicative correlation only. The mapping from customs codes to dual-use control codes is guidance, not a classification. Whether an item is controlled depends on its technical parameters.

Notes that govern this classification
Zu Unterposition 3906 9090: Hierher gehören Poly(acrylnitril) und Polyacryl-Elastomere (ACM) in Primärformen (nicht vulkanisiert). Nicht hierher gehören: a) Acrylpolymere, die Ionenaustauscher sind (Position 3914 0000). b) Copolymere des Acrylnitrils, die den Bestimmungen der Anmerkung 4 zu Kapitel 40 entsprechen (Kapitel 40).
Erläuterungen zum Harmonisierten System (HS) Unter „Acrylpolymeren“ versteht man Polymere der Acryl- oder der Methacrylsäure, ihrer Salze oder Ester oder der entsprechenden Aldehyde, Amide oder Nitrile. Poly(methylmethacrylat) ist das wichtigste Polymer dieser Gruppe. Es wird wegen seiner ausgezeichneten optischen Eigenschaften und seiner physikalischen Widerstandsfähigkeit als Verglasungsmittel und zum Herstellen von Schildern für den Außenbereich, Werbeartikeln, Augen- und Zahnprothesen und Kontaktlinsen verwendet. Acrylnitril-Polymere können zum Herstellen von synthetischen Fasern verwendet werden. Bezüglich der Einreihung der Polymere (einschließlich Copolymere), der chemisch modifizierten Polymere und Polymergemische siehe die Erläuterungen „Allgemeines“ zu diesem Kapitel. Nicht zu dieser Position gehören: a) Acrylpolymere, die Ionenaustauscher sind (Pos. 3914). …
Zu Unterposition 3906 90: 1. Mischpolymerisat aus einem Acrylsäureester und einem Acrylsäureamid, mit Formaldehyd modifiziert, in wässriger Dispersion, stabilisiert durch Zusatz einer geringen Menge Sulforicinoleat.

Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name.
What is the duty rate for 3906.90.90.73?
The third-country duty rate for 3906.90.90.73 is 6.5 %. Goods originating in a country with a preferential agreement may qualify for a lower rate against valid proof of origin.
What is the HS code for 3906.90.90.73?

Where does 3906.90.90.73 sit in the tariff?
3906.90.90.73 sits in this hierarchy: 39 PLASTICS AND ARTICLES THEREOF > 3906 Acrylic polymers in primary forms > 390690 Other > 39069090 Other. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.
Is there binding tariff information for 3906.90.90.73?
The EBTI database currently holds no valid decisions on 3906.90.90.73. Comparable cases are found through the parent heading instead.
What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?
