SBR 1712 Cold Polymerized Emulsion
SBR 1712 is a cold-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber emulsion with low styrene content (<50% dry), ideal for tire treads and mechanical goods. Classified in HTS 4002.19.00.19 as it remains in primary dispersion form, retaining essential rubber character per chapter notes without disallowed additives.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If statistical suffix matches hot-polymerized variant
Same heading but different statistical breakout for production method, though core classification unchanged.
If classified under butadiene rubber (BR) mixtures
Blends with predominant butadiene content may shift to latex or other synthetic rubber subheadings.
If processed into waste or scrap form
Chapter note 4 defines waste/parings from rubber working, not primary emulsions.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide polymerization process documentation confirming cold method and styrene ratio; watch for contamination with plasticizers that could reclassify
• Use proper UN-approved packaging for liquid shipments to avoid spills

SBR 1502 Latex
SBR 1502 is a styrene-butadiene rubber latex dispersion containing less than 50% styrene in the dry polymer, used primarily in paper coatings and adhesives. It qualifies under HTS 4002.19.00.19 as a synthetic rubber in primary liquid form, meeting the chapter's definition for prevulcanized latex without prohibited compounding agents. This excludes it from Chapter 39 plastics due to its vulcanizable rubber properties.
Carboxylated XSBR Latex XL-505
XSBR XL-505 is carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex with ≤50% styrene, used in carpet backings and textile coatings. It falls under HTS 4002.19.00.19 as a primary form synthetic rubber dispersion, explicitly including carboxylated variants per hierarchy, without vulcanizing additives.
SBR Granules SSBR-200
SSBR-200 solution SBR granules (emulsion-derived, <50% styrene) in bulk primary form for footwear soles. HTS 4002.19.00.19 covers these as granules of uncompounded synthetic rubber, per notes allowing bulk forms while retaining raw material character.
