Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If different synthetic type (e.g., chloroprene)
Subheading specificity for rubber polymer chemistry.
If primarily pigment dispersion
Note 5(a)(ii) excludes coloring matter beyond identification.
If artificial graphite additives present
Material mixture changes essential character.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify emulsifier content (allowed per Note 5(b)(i)) in technical specs
• Avoid Chapter 32 classification by confirming rubber >50% solids
• Test for vulcanization capability to prove synthetic rubber status
