Overview
This HTS category, 4002.99.00.00, encompasses synthetic rubber and factice derived from oils that are not classified under the "Latex" sibling category. Specifically, it covers these materials when they are in their primary forms, such as bales, granules, or powders, or when processed into plates, sheets, or strip. This classification also includes mixtures of synthetic rubber or factice with any product of heading 4001, provided these mixtures are also presented in primary forms or as plates, sheets, or strip.
The key differentiator for this "Other" category is the exclusion of synthetic rubber and factice when presented in a liquid or emulsified form, which is specifically addressed by the sibling category 4002.91.00.00 (Latex). Therefore, if the material is a liquid suspension of rubber particles, it falls under latex. If it is a solid or semi-solid form, or a mixture in those forms, and does not meet the criteria for other specific headings within Chapter 40, it will be classified here.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4002.99.00.00. Classification decisions within this code would rely on ensuring the material meets the definition of synthetic rubber or factice derived from oils, is in a primary form or as plates, sheets, or strip, and is not in latex form. Examples of products that might fall here include solid synthetic rubber blocks, sheets of compounded synthetic rubber for further manufacturing, or granulated synthetic rubber.
