Harmonized System Code Classification

40 is the first two digits of the HS code, which represents rubber and articles of rubber.

The 40 chapter includes:

• Natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and reclaimed rubber, including various forms of raw rubber such as crude rubber, latex, and rubber powder.
• Rubber products, which are the main part of the 40 chapter, including:
  • Tires and inner tubes: Tires and inner tubes for various vehicles (cars, bicycles, motorcycles, airplanes, etc.).
  • Conveyor belts and transmission belts: Rubber conveyor belts used in industry, agriculture, etc.
  • Rubber tubes: Various rubber tubes for industrial, medical, etc.
  • Rubber sheets: Rubber sheets of various thicknesses.
  • Rubber cable sheaths: Rubber sheaths for cables.
  • Rubber seals: Various rubber O-rings, gaskets, etc.
  • Rubber soles: Various rubber soles.
  • Other rubber products: For example, rubber gloves, rubber toys, rubber stationery, etc.

The classification of goods under the HS code is mainly based on the material composition, physical properties, and use of the goods. For goods under the 40 chapter, the main basis is whether rubber is the main component. If the main component of the product is rubber and it has the typical properties of rubber, it is usually classified into the 40 chapter.

Note:

• HS code classification is very complex and requires comprehensive consideration of the characteristics of the goods.
• Even if the goods contain rubber components, if rubber is not the main component or rubber is only used as an auxiliary material, it may need to be classified into other chapters.
• Specific classification should refer to the customs' "Detailed Customs Tariff for Goods Classification" and other relevant regulations.

The first four digits of the HS code are "4016", which refers to Other vulcanized rubber products, excluding hard rubber products.

The first six digits of the HS code are 4016.95, which refers to Other vulcanized rubber products, excluding hard rubber products --> Other --> Other inflatable articles.
