Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the mixture is predominantly synthetic rubber without natural rubber
Pure synthetic rubbers like SBR fall under specific synthetic subheadings in 4002, excluding natural-synthetic blends.
If heavily compounded with fillers or vulcanizing agents
Compounded mixtures lose primary form status and become waste or scrap under 4004 if not retaining raw character.
If supplied in compounded solid form like crumb
Compounded synthetic rubber in non-primary forms like crumb shifts to heading 4005.
