Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "45" represent rubber and articles of rubber.

Specifically, this chapter includes:

• Natural rubber, synthetic rubber, reclaimed rubber of various types of rubber raw materials.
• Rubber tires, rubber tubes, rubber tracks, rubber sheets, rubber cables and other types of rubber products.
• Other rubber products, such as rubber seals, rubber gaskets, rubber gloves, etc.

Reason for classification:

The principle of HS code classification is based on the material, use and manufacturing method of the goods. The goods in the "45" chapter are mainly composed of rubber, so they are classified as rubber and articles of rubber.

In short, as long as the main component of the goods is rubber, or it exists in the form of a rubber product, it may be classified into the "45" chapter.

If you want to know a more specific classification, please provide a more detailed HS code (e.g., 4501, 4502, etc.) or a description of the goods.

The first four digits of the HS code 4504 represent the following classification and meaning:

• Classification: Agglomerated cork (with or without a binding substance) and articles of agglomerated cork.
• Meaning: This code includes blocks made of cork particles or fragments, which may be bonded with or without a binding substance. It also includes various products further processed from these agglomerated cork blocks.

The six-digit HS code 4504.10:

• Classification: Agglomerated cork (with or without a binding substance) and articles of agglomerated cork: Blocks, plates, sheets and strip; tiles of any shape; solid cylinders, including disks: Other

The eight to ten-digit HS code 4504104500:

• Classification: Agglomerated cork (with or without a binding substance) and articles of agglomerated cork: Blocks, plates, sheets and strip; tiles of any shape; solid cylinders, including disks: Corks, stoppers, disks, wafers and washers: Stoppers, not tapered, wholly of cork, of a thickness (or length) greater than the maximum diameter.
• Explanation: This belongs to cork products made of agglomerated cork (with or without a binding substance), specifically: blocks, plates, sheets and strips; tiles of any shape; solid cylinders, including disks; corks, stoppers, disks, wafers and washers; non-tapered stoppers, entirely made of cork, with a thickness (or length) greater than the maximum diameter.
