3913.90.10.00/Chloroprene Rubber (CR)/Canada

Chloroprene Rubber (CR) from Canada

Chloroprene rubber, a synthetic elastomer produced by polymerization of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene), is a chemical derivative of natural rubber isoprene structure. It is supplied in primary forms such as bales or pellets for use in manufacturing weather-resistant products like wetsuits and hoses. Classified under HTS 3913.90.1000 as it qualifies as a chemical derivative of natural rubber per chapter notes on polymers.

Import Tips

• Verify polymer composition meets 95% chloroprene monomer content per subheading note (a)(1) to avoid reclassification

• Provide certificates of analysis confirming chemical derivation from natural rubber base for CBP review

• Avoid common pitfall of importing pre-compounded forms, which may shift to 4002 as synthetic rubber additions
