Alternative Classifications

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

4002.99.00Same rate: 35%

If vulcanized or chemically modified beyond primary form

Vulcanized synthetic rubbers fall under Chapter 40 as addition polymers, not primary form resins of 3911.

3909Lower: 16.3% vs 35%

If primarily polyurethane-based elastomer

Polyurethanes are classified in 3909.30 regardless of elastomeric properties, based on predominant monomer units.

3911.90Same rate: 35%

If non-elastomeric polysulfone or similar

Non-elastomeric versions of these polymers go to the residual 'Other' subheading within 3911.90.
