Products classified under HTS 2934.20.40.00

2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is a benzothiazole derivative used primarily as a vulcanization accelerator in rubber production. It falls under HTS 2934.20.4000 as a compound containing a benzothiazole ring-system and is specifically listed in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI for chemical compounds subject to special tariff treatment.

N-Cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide (CBS)

CBS is a delayed-action vulcanization accelerator containing the benzothiazole ring-system, widely used in tire and rubber manufacturing. Classified under HTS 2934.20.4000 per additional U.S. note 3, as it's a specific heterocyclic compound listed for tariff purposes.

Zinc 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

This zinc salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole serves as a rubber accelerator and corrosion inhibitor with the characteristic benzothiazole ring. It qualifies for HTS 2934.20.4000 under additional U.S. note 3 to section VI and Chapter 29 salt classification rules.

2-(Morpholinothio)benzothiazole (MBS)

MBS is a sulfenamide-type benzothiazole accelerator providing scorch safety in rubber compounding, particularly for automotive applications. Falls under HTS 2934.20.4000 as specified in additional U.S. note 3 for pure heterocyclic compounds.

Benzothiazole-2-thiol

Also known as 2-benzothiazolethiol, this compound is a key intermediate and accelerator containing the unfused benzothiazole ring-system. HTS 2934.20.4000 applies per additional U.S. note 3 to section VI for these specifically described products.

N-tert-Butyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide (TBBS)

TBBS is a fast-curing rubber accelerator with benzothiazole structure, ideal for tire treads and mechanical goods. Classified in HTS 2934.20.4000 under additional U.S. note 3 for pure benzothiazole compounds.
