Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing more than 50% styrene
XSBR with higher styrene moves to 'other' high-styrene synthetic rubbers subheading.
If acrylic-modified beyond rubber properties
Excessive acrylic content fails vulcanization test, treating as acrylic polymers rather than rubber.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include FTIR analysis proving carboxylation and styrene content; avoid bulk shipments without stabilizers as permitted by notes
• Pitfall: Textile impregnation post-import may require reclassification checks

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.
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.
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.
