Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If plain isobutene-isoprene without halogenation
Non-halo IIR moves to specific 4002.19 subheading, distinct from 'other' halo variants.
If pre-mixed with vulcanizing accelerators beyond permitted
Note 5(a)(i) excludes such compounded rubber from 4002, into rubber accelerant preparations.
If processed into tubes or profiles post-import
Finished articles like tubes fall under 4009, not primary forms.
