Last updated: July 2026 dataPolyacetals—commonly marketed as POM (polyoxymethylene) or under trade names such as Delrin and Celcon—are engineering thermoplastics prized for their high stiffness, low friction, and dimensional stability in precision mechanical parts. South Korea and Germany are the leading US import sources, with Malaysia and Japan also supplying meaningful volumes. Classified under a single 10-digit line (3907100000), the heading is straightforward to classify but importers should be alert to Section 301 exposure when product is routed through or originates from affected jurisdictions.

Polyacetals (heading 3907.10) are specifically defined by their repeating oxymethylene (-CH₂-O-) backbone, distinguishing them from broader polyether categories. Other polyethers not meeting this structural definition fall under 3907.29. Suppliers' chemical data sheets and CAS numbers help confirm the correct heading at entry.
Automotive OEM and Tier 1 suppliers are the largest consumers, using polyacetals for fuel system components, door handles, and seat belt parts. Consumer electronics and industrial machinery manufacturers also rely on POM for gears, bearings, and housings where metal replacement is sought. Demand tends to track automotive production cycles closely.
