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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If produced by solution polymerization
Solution SBR (S-SBR) falls under a separate subheading due to different production process, even with similar styrene content.
If styrene content exceeds 50% by dry weight
Higher styrene XSBR or other SBR variants shift to 'other' synthetic rubbers in 4002.99.
If processed into waste, parings or scrap
Per Chapter Note 6, only unusable rubber manufacturing waste qualifies for heading 4004, not primary bales.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify emulsion polymerization method and styrene content via lab testing certificates to confirm HTS 4002.19.00.15; ensure bales are uncompounded per Chapter Note 5
• Common pitfall: mislabeling as solution SBR (4002.19.00.20)
