Products classified under HTS 4005.99.00.00
NBR Unvulcanized Rubber Compound Sheets
Sheets of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) compound in unvulcanized primary form, mixed with fillers and plasticizers for oil-resistant applications. Classified under HTS 4005.99.00.00 as compounded unvulcanized rubber in sheet form, not meeting primary form restrictions of earlier headings due to added compounding agents beyond permitted substances. Excludes vulcanized or textile products per Chapter 40 notes.
EPDM Unvulcanized Rubber Granules
Granular form of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber compounded unvulcanized, with stabilizers and processing aids for weather-resistant products. Falls under HTS 4005.99.00.00 as 'other' compounded rubber in primary granular form, distinguished from simple synthetic rubber by added extenders. Complies with Chapter 40 exclusion of vulcanized goods.
SBR Unvulcanized Rubber Bale Compound
Bales of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) unvulcanized compound containing carbon black reinforcement and oils for tire manufacturing. HTS 4005.99.00.00 applies to this 'other' compounded primary form rubber, as it includes extenders excluded from headings 4001-4002. Not scrap or vulcanized per chapter notes.
Silicone Rubber Unvulcanized Paste
Paste form of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) compounded unvulcanized with catalysts and fillers for molding applications. Classified in HTS 4005.99.00.00 as other primary form compounded rubber, containing plasticizers disallowed in earlier headings. Excludes electrical appliances of Section XVI.
