Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4002.19.00Same rate: 35%

If carboxylated XSBR variant

XSBR with carboxylic groups has dedicated subheading despite similar base.

4009.42.00Lower: 20% vs 35%

If made into transmission belts

Finished rubber transmission belts classify under 4009, not primary material.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify no textile lamination to stay in 4002; test for emulsion origin

Pitfall: oil-extended beyond permitted levels shifts to other subheadings
