Products classified under HTS 4002.19.00.15
E-SBR 1502 Rubber Bales
Styrene-butadiene rubber (E-SBR) grade 1502 produced via emulsion polymerization, baled for industrial use, containing less than 50% styrene by dry weight. This synthetic rubber meets Chapter 40 definitions for primary forms in bales, classified under 4002.19.00.15 due to its emulsion process and specific styrene content. It is uncompounded with vulcanizing agents or fillers beyond permitted additives.
E-SBR 1712 Rubber Bales
Emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber grade 1712 in bales, with low styrene content (under 50%), ideal for tire treads and footwear soles. Classified in HTS 4002.19.00.15 as it is synthetic rubber in primary bale form from emulsion polymerization, retaining raw material character without prohibited compounding.
Pilot E-SBR 1000 Series Bales
Pilot plant E-SBR from emulsion polymerization in standard bales, styrene ≤50% by weight, used in adhesives and sealants. Fits HTS 4002.19.00.15 as unvulcanized synthetic rubber in primary bale form per chapter notes excluding textiles or compounded goods.
E-SBR SSBR-2505 Rubber Bales
High-performance E-SBR grade SSBR-2505 in bales, emulsion-produced with ≤50% styrene for conveyor belts and hoses. HTS 4002.19.00.15 applies to this primary form synthetic rubber, excluding any textile-impregnated belting per Note 10.
E-SBR for Tire Sidewalls Bales
Specialty E-SBR bales optimized for tire sidewalls, produced by emulsion polymerization with low styrene content. This raw synthetic rubber in primary bale form is precisely under HTS 4002.19.00.15, uncompounded and vulcanization-ready.
Cold Polymerized E-SBR Bales
Cold emulsion polymerization E-SBR in bales, styrene content ≤50%, used in flooring and mats. Classifies in 4002.19.00.15 as it matches synthetic rubber primary form criteria, with only permitted emulsifiers present.
E-SBR Latex Coagulated Bales
E-SBR obtained by coagulating emulsion latex into bales, <50% styrene, for general rubber goods. HTS 4002.19.00.15 due to emulsion production and primary bale form, compliant with vulcanization test in Chapter Note 2.
Standard E-SBR 1721 Bales
Versatile E-SBR grade 1721 in bales from emulsion polymerization, styrene ≤50% by dry polymer weight for automotive parts. Primary form classification under 4002.19.00.15 excludes mechanical appliances of Section XVI.
