Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4002.99.00Lower: 35% vs 39%

If synthetic rubber latex rather than vinyl polymer

Rubber latices for textiles fall under Chapter 40 based on polymer chemistry.

5907.00Lower: 10% vs 39%

If coated onto textile backing before import

Impregnated/coated textiles become Chapter 59 textile articles.

3905.29.00Same rate: 39%

If non-aqueous powder or redispersible form

Same copolymer but different physical form moves to 'Other' subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Supplier specs must detail aqueous dispersion characteristics and copolymer composition for customs review

• Prevent misclassification as finished carpet (5702/5703) by proving it's the raw polymer binder

• Test for film-forming properties that distinguish it from latex in 4002
