Chlorinated Neoprene Rubber (CR)
Chlorinated synthetic rubber derived from polychloroprene (neoprene) through chlorination, meeting the 95%+ monomer content requirement per subheading notes. Used primarily in adhesives, sealants, and corrosion-resistant coatings due to its oil and chemical resistance. Classified under 3911.90.70.00 as chlorinated synthetic rubber in primary form.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not sufficiently chlorinated or sold as unchlorinated base
Unchlorinated polychloroprene (neoprene) rubber falls under Chapter 40 as synthetic rubber, not Chapter 39 polymers.
If copolymer with <95% chlorinated monomer units
Per subheading note (a)(4), copolymers not meeting 95% threshold classify by predominant monomer in 'Other' subheadings.
If chemically modified beyond simple chlorination or contains additives
Heavily modified polymers or preparations may classify as chemical products of heading 3824 rather than pure polymers.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify chlorination level and monomer composition via lab analysis to confirm 95%+ predominant unit per Chapter 39 notes
• Provide supplier certificates showing it's in primary form (not compounded or vulcanized) to avoid reclassification
