Last updated: June 2026 dataAlkyd resins are oil-modified polyester binders that form the backbone of solvent-borne architectural and industrial coatings, wood finishes, and printing inks. Germany leads US import supply, with Mexico and Turkey also notable sources—a supplier mix that reflects both European specialty chemical capacity and regional manufacturing in the Americas. Classified under a single 10-digit line (3907500000), alkyds are distinguished from other polyesters by their fatty acid or oil modification, which governs drying speed and film properties. Importers should confirm that product descriptions clearly reference the oil-modification chemistry to avoid misclassification into other polyester subheadings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Alkyd resins are defined by their modification with fatty acids or drying oils, which imparts film-forming and oxidative curing properties absent in unmodified polyesters. Chapter 39 Note 3(d) specifically includes alkyd resins within the polyesters group. If a product is a straight polyester without oil or fatty acid modification, it would fall under a different polyester subheading rather than 3907.50.
Alkyd resins are generally not subject to mandatory admissibility review by a specific agency at the border, but importers should be aware that solvent-borne alkyd formulations may be subject to EPA VOC regulations once they enter commerce in the US. At the import stage, standard CBP entry requirements apply, and importers should ensure Safety Data Sheets are available for customs and downstream compliance purposes.
