Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contains vulcanizing accelerators
Note 5(a)(i) explicitly excludes vulcanizing agents from primary form headings.
If different synthetic rubber type (e.g., butyl)
Specific subheadings distinguish NBR from other synthetic rubbers.
If oil-extended beyond permitted levels
Excess mineral oil changes classification to petroleum oils per Note 5(a)(iii).
