Kraton D1192 SBS Granules
Kraton D1192 is a styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer produced by solution polymerization, supplied in granular form with less than 50% styrene content. This thermoplastic elastomer falls under HTS 4002.19.00.14 as it meets the definition of synthetic rubber in primary granular form, suitable for compounding into adhesives and sealants. It retains essential raw material character without prohibited additives like vulcanizing agents.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thermoplastic properties dominate over rubber character
Polymers classified by plastic nature in Chapter 39 if they don't meet synthetic rubber vulcanization/elongation tests of Chapter 40 Note 2.
If containing >50% styrene
Higher styrene content SBS shifts to the general 'other' subheading within same SBR category.
If oil-extended beyond permitted levels
Excess mineral oil extension may classify as bituminous mixtures rather than primary synthetic rubber.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify styrene content ≤50% by dry weight via certificate of analysis to confirm classification under 4002.19.00.14
• Ensure product is in granules/crumbs/powders without vulcanizing agents or fillers per Chapter 40 Note 5 to avoid reclassification
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming solution polymerization process and primary form status
