HS-6 · Subheading
350691
Adhesives; prepared, based on polymers of heading 3901 to 3913 or on rubber
Heading 3506 — Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, n.e.c. or included; products suitable for use as glues or adhesives, put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives, not exceeding 1kg net weight
Chapter 35: Albuminoidal substances
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 350691 when importing or exporting prepared adhesives based on polymers or rubber, such as ready-to-use glue sticks or tubes of adhesive. For example, a shipment of a polymer-based adhesive in a 50g tube falls under this code.
This code specifically covers adhesives that are formulated for immediate use and are packaged for retail sale, typically in small quantities not exceeding 1kg. In contrast, HS-6 350693 covers adhesives that are not packaged for retail sale and may be sold in bulk.
If you're dealing with adhesives that are based on natural rubber or synthetic polymers, this HS-6 is your go-to. However, if your product is a glue that contains animal-derived albuminoidal substances, you might need to consider HS-6 350610 instead.
Understanding the nuances between these codes is crucial for correct classification. For instance, a product like a 100g tube of cyanoacrylate adhesive would fit under this code, while a bulk container of the same adhesive would not.
