HS v2017 Code: 400241

About rubber; synthetic, chloroprene (chlorobutadiene) rubber (cr), latex, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

HS code 400241 covers the classification of synthetic chloroprene (chlorobutadiene) rubber, also known as CR rubber, in its primary forms or as plates, sheets, or strips. This type of synthetic rubber is highly versatile and finds extensive use in a wide range of industries, from automotive to construction and beyond. As a key component in the production of various rubber-based products, the 400241 classification plays a crucial role in the global import/export landscape.

Production process

The production of synthetic chloroprene rubber (CR) typically involves the polymerization of chloroprene monomers. This process is often carried out in the presence of various catalysts and additives to achieve the desired properties and characteristics of the final product. The resulting CR rubber can then be further processed into different forms, such as sheets, plates, or strips, to meet the specific requirements of various applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 400241 items include chloroprene monomers, which serve as the base raw material. Additionally, various catalysts, stabilizers, and other chemical additives may be used to enhance the properties and performance of the final rubber product. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as polymerization reactors and extrusion or calendering systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The synthetic chloroprene rubber (CR) classified under HS code 400241 is a versatile material that finds applications in a wide range of industries. It is commonly used in the production of automotive parts, such as 400251 (Rubber; synthetic, butadiene rubber (BR), in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip), 400259 Rubber; synthetic, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip, nesoi, and 400270 Rubber; vulcanized, other than hard rubber, in plates, sheets, strip, which may incorporate or consume the output of the 400241 classification. Additionally, CR rubber is utilized in the manufacture of various industrial and consumer goods, including hoses, seals, gaskets, and other rubber-based products.

Revisions to 400241
