Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "40" represent rubber and its products.

Specifically:

• 40 chapter covers natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and various rubber products.
• Mainly includes: Natural rubber (crude rubber, smoked sheet rubber, block rubber, etc.), synthetic rubber (styrene butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, chloroprene rubber, etc.), rubber tires, rubber tubes, rubber belts, rubber soles, and other rubber products.

Therefore, if your product is rubber material itself, or made primarily of rubber, its HS code is likely to start with "40".

To determine a more precise classification, it is necessary to further understand the specific composition, use, and manufacturing process of the product.

The first four digits of the HS code 4005 represent:

Classification: Unvulcanized compounded rubber, in primary form or in the form of sheets, plates, or strips.

Meaning: Refers to unvulcanized compounded rubber in the form of primary shape, sheets, plates, or strips.

6-digit explanation: HS code: 4005.99
