CHAPTER 40

RUBBER AND ARTICLES THEREOF

Notes

1. Except where the context otherwise requires, throughout the nomenclature the expression ‘rubber’ means the following products, whether or not vulcanized or hard: natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle and similar natural gums, synthetic rubber, factice derived from oils, and such substances reclaimed.

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a) goods of Section XI (textiles and textile articles);

(b) footwear or parts thereof of Chapter 64;

(d) mechanical or electrical appliances or parts thereof of Section XVI (including electrical goods of all kinds), of hard rubber;

(e) articles of Chapter 90, 92, 94 or 96; or

(f) articles of Chapter 95 (other than sports gloves and articles of heading Nos 4011 to 4013).

1. In heading Nos 4001 to 4003 and 4005, the expression ‘primary forms’ applies only to the following forms:

(a) liquids and pastes (including latex, whether or not pre-vulcanized, and other dispersions and solutions);

(b) blocks of irregular shape, lumps, bales, powders, granules, crumbs and similar bulk forms.

1. In note 1 to this chapter and in heading No 4002, the expression ‘synthetic rubber’ applies to:

(a) unsaturated synthetic substances which can be irreversibly transformed by vulcanization with sulphur into non-thermoplastic substances which, at a temperature between 18 and 29 oC, will not break on being extended to three times their original length and will return, after being extended to twice their original length, within a period of five minutes, to a length not greater than one-and-a-half times their original length. For the purposes of this test, substances necessary for the cross-linking, such as vulcanizing activators or accelerators, may be added; the presence of substances as provided for by note 5 (b) (ii) and (iii) is also permitted. However, the presence of any substances not necessary for the cross-linking, such as extenders, plasticizers and fillers, is not permitted;

(b) thioplasts (TM); and

(c) natural rubber modified by grafting or mixing with plastics, depolymerized natural rubber, mixtures of unsaturated synthetic substances with saturated synthetic high polymers provided that all the abovementioned products comply with the requirements concerning vulcanization, elongation and recovery in (a).

1. - (a) Heading Nos 4001 and 4002 do not apply to any rubber or mixture of rubbers which has been compounded, before or after coagulation, with:

(i) vulcanizing agents, accelerators, retarders or activators (other than those added for the preparation of pre-vulcanized rubber latex);

(ii) pigments or other colouring matter, other than those added solely for the purpose of identification;

(iii) plasticizers or extenders (except mineral oil in the case of oil-extended rubber), fillers, reinforcing agents, organic solvents or any other substances, except those permitted under (b).

(b) The presence of the following substances in any rubber or mixture of rubbers shall not affect its classification in heading No 4001 or 4002, as the case may be, provided that such rubber or mixture of rubbers retains its essential character as a raw material:

(i) emulsifiers or anti-tack agents;

(ii) small amounts of breakdown products of emulsifiers;

(iii) very small amounts of the following: heat-sensitive agents (generally for obtaining thermosensitive rubber latexes), cationic surface-active agents (generally for obtaining electro-positive rubber latexes), antioxidants, coagulants, crumbling agents, freeze-resisting agents, peptizers, preservatives, stabilizers, viscosity-control agents, or similar special-purpose additives.

1. For the purposes of heading No 4004, the expression ‘waste, parings and scrap’ means rubber waste, parings and scrap from the manufacture or working of rubber and rubber goods definitely not usable as such because of cutting-up, wear or other reasons.

1. Thread wholly of vulcanized rubber, of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 5 mm, is to be classified as strip, rods or profile shapes, of heading No 4008.

1. Heading No 4010 includes conveyor or transmission belts or belting of textile fabric impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with rubber or made from textile yarn or cord impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber.

1. In heading Nos 4001, 4002, 4003, 4005 and 4008, the expressions ‘plates’, ‘sheets’ and ‘strip’ apply only to plates, sheets and strip and to blocks of regular geometric shape, uncut or simply cut to rectangular (including square) shape, whether or not having the character of articles and whether or not printed or otherwise surface-worked, but not otherwise cut to shape or further worked.

In heading No 4008, the expressions ‘rods’ and ‘profile shapes’ apply only to such products, whether or not cut to length or surface-worked but not otherwise worked.

RAW HIDES AND SKINS (OTHER THAN FURSKINS) AND LEATHER

Notes

1. This chapter does not cover:

(a) parings or similar waste, of raw hides or skins (heading No 0511);

(b) birdskins or parts of birdskins, with their feathers or down, of heading No 0505 or 6701; or

(c) hides or skins, with the hair or wool on, raw, tanned or dressed (Chapter 43); the following are, however, to be classified in Chapter 41, namely, raw hides and skins with the hair or wool on, of bovine animals (including buffalo), of equine animals, of sheep or lambs (except Astrakhan, Broadtail, Caracul, Persian or similar lambs, Indian, Chinese, Mongolian or Tibetan lambs), of goats or kids (except Yemen, Mongolian or Tibetan goats and kids), of swine (including peccary), of chamois, of gazelle, of reindeer, of elk, of deer, of roebucks or of dogs.

1. Throughout the nomenclature the expression ‘composition leather’ means only substances of the kind referred to in heading No 4111.
