Prepared Glues & Adhesives (NESOI) imports of $5.6M in May 2026 ran 22% above the year-to-date monthly average of $4.6M.
Last updated: May 2026 dataPrepared adhesives not elsewhere specified under HTS 3506 serve as a catch-all for formulated bonding agents that do not fit the retail-pack weight limit of 3506.10 or the polymer/rubber base of 3506.91 — encompassing specialty industrial adhesives used in aerospace, woodworking, and electronics. Japan and Germany lead US imports under this heading, reflecting the concentration of high-performance adhesive technology in those markets, with Italy, China, and the United Kingdom also contributing. The single 10-digit line (3506990000) means classification is straightforward, but importers must first confirm the product does not belong in a more specific subheading before defaulting to this residual category.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification should follow GRI order: first determine whether the adhesive is based on polymers of headings 3901–3913 or on rubber, which would place it in 3506.91. Only if the adhesive does not have such a polymer or rubber base — or if it is a multi-component system where no single base predominates — should 3506.99 be considered. Consulting the product's technical data sheet and, if necessary, a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for novel formulations.
Japan is not currently subject to Section 301 or Section 232 measures applicable to adhesives, and no antidumping or countervailing duty orders are in place for this category from Japan as a general matter. However, trade-remedy landscapes can change; importers should verify current CBP and USTR guidance before each shipment.
