Overview
HTS Code 4001.22.00.05 classifies "Grade 5" technically specified natural rubber (TSNR). This specific designation refers to a type of natural rubber that meets stringent technical specifications for its physical and chemical properties, which are crucial for its performance in downstream manufacturing processes. Unlike other grades, Grade 5 TSNR is characterized by a precise set of standards that ensure consistency and suitability for particular industrial applications, often related to its viscosity, purity, and processing characteristics.
This category is distinct from its sibling categories, which also represent different grades of TSNR. For instance, Grade CV, Grade L, Grade 10, and Grade 20 are differentiated by their own unique sets of technical specifications, catering to varying requirements in industries such as tire manufacturing, automotive components, and industrial rubber goods. The selection of a specific grade, including Grade 5, is driven by the intended end-use and the precise performance attributes demanded by the manufacturing process.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 4001.22.00.05 does not have further subcategories. This indicates that "Grade 5" represents the most granular level of classification for this particular type of technically specified natural rubber. Classification at this level relies heavily on the documented technical specifications that define Grade 5 and differentiate it from all other TSNR grades listed under 4001.22.00.
