2004 Schedule B - Chapter 40
Chapter - 40
2004 Sched ule B
Rubber and Articles Thereof
Notes
1. Except where the context otherwise requires, throughout
the export schedule the expression "rubber" means the
following products, whether or not vulcanized or hard:
natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle
and similar natural gums, synthetic rubber, factice
derived from oils, and such substances reclaimed.
2. This chapter does not cover:
(a). Goods of section XI (textiles and textile articles);
(b). Footwear or parts thereof of chapter 64;
(c). Headgear of parts thereof (including bathing caps) of
chapter 65;
(d). Mechanical or electrical appliances or parts thereof
of section XVI (including electrical goods of all
kinds), of hard rubber;
(e). Articles of chapters 90, 92, 94 or 96; or
(f). Articles of chapter 95 (other than sports gloves,
mittens and mitts and articles of headings 4011 to
4013).
3. In headings 4001 to 4003 and 4005 the expression "primary
forms" applies only to the following forms:
(a). Liquids and pastes (including latex, whether or not
prevulcanized, and other dispersions and solutions);
(b). Blocks of irregular shape, lumps, bales, powders,
granules, crumbs and similar bulk forms.
4. In note 1 to this chapter and in heading 4002, the
expression "synthetic rubber" applies to:
(a). Unsaturated synthetic substances which can be
irreversibly transformed by vulcanization with sulfur
into non-thermoplastic substances which, at a
temperature between 18 degrees C and 29 degrees C,
will not break on being extended to three times their
original length and will return, after being extended
to twice their original length, within a period of
five minutes, to a length not greater than one and a
half times their original length. For the purposes
of this test, substances necessary for the cross-
linking, such as vulcanizing activators or
accelerators, may be added; the presence of sub-
stances as provided for by note 5 (b) (ii) and (iii)
is also permitted. However, the presence of any
substances not necessary for the cross-linking, such
as extenders, plasticizers and fillers, is not
permitted;
(b). Thioplasts (TM); and
(c). Natural rubber modified by grafting or mixing with
plastics, depolymerized natural rubber, mixtures of
unsaturated synthetic substances with saturated
synthetic high polymers provided that all the above-
mentioned products comply with the requirements
concerning vulcanization, elongation and recovery in
(a) above.
5. As follows:
(a). Headings 4001 and 4002 do not apply to any rubber
or mixture of rubbers which has been compounded,
before or after coagulation, with:
(i). Vulcanizing agents, accelerators, retarders
or activators (other than those added for
the preparation of prevulcanized rubber
latex);
(ii). Pigments or other coloring matter other
than those added solely for the purpose of
identification;
(iii). Plasticizers or extenders (except mineral
oil in the case of oil-extended rubber),
fillers, reinforcing agents, organic
solvents or any other substances, except
those permitted under (b);
(b). The presence of the following substances in any
rubber or mixture of rubbers shall not affect its
classification in heading 4001 or 4002 as the case
may be, provided that such rubber or mixture of
rubbers retains its essential character as a raw
material:
(i). emulsifiers or antitack agents;
(ii). small amounts of breakdown products of
emulsifiers;
(iii). very small amounts of the following:
heat-sensitive agents (generally for latexes),
cationic surface-active agents (generally for
obtaining electro-positive rubber latexes),
agents, peptizers, preservatives, stabilizers,
viscosity-control agents, or similar special-
purpose additives.
6. For the purposes of heading 4004 the expression "waste,
parings and scrap" means rubber waste, parings and scrap
from the manufacture or working of rubber and rubber goods
definitely not usable as such because of cutting-up, wear
or other reasons.
7. Thread wholly of vulcanized rubber, of which any cross-
sectional dimension exceeds 5 mm (0.2 in.), is to be
classified as strip, rods or profile shapes, of heading
4008.
8. Heading 4010 includes conveyor or transmission belts or
belting of textile fabric impregnated, coated, covered or
laminated with rubber or made from textile yarn or cord
impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber.
9. In headings 4001, 4002, 4003, 4005, and 4008, the
expressions "plates", "sheets" and "strip" apply only to
plates, sheets, strip and to blocks of regular geometric
shape, uncut or simply cut to rectangular (including
square) shape, whether or not having the character of
articles and whether or not printed or otherwise surface-
worked, but not otherwise cut to shape or further worked.
In heading 4008, the expressions "rods" and "profile
shapes" apply only to such products, whether or not cut to
length or surface-worked but not otherwise worked.
