Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vulcanized into tubes
Vulcanized rubber tubes/pipes are in 4009; unvulcanized stays primary.
If formulated as ready-to-use adhesive
Adhesives based on rubber polymers shift to 3506 if not raw primary form.
If predominantly solvent with minor rubber
Petroleum solvents with insignificant rubber content classify as light oils in Chapter 27.
