HS-6 · Subheading
381231
Anti-oxidising preparations and other compound stabilisers; for rubber or plastics, mixtures of oligomers of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (TMQ)
Heading 3812 — Prepared rubber accelerators; compound plasticisers for rubber or plastics, n.e.c. or included; anti-oxidising preparations and other compound stabilisers for rubber or plastics
Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 381231 when importing or exporting anti-oxidising preparations like mixtures of oligomers of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (TMQ). For example, if you're shipping a batch of TMQ-based stabilizers for rubber manufacturing, this is the correct code.
This code specifically applies to anti-oxidising preparations and stabilisers used in rubber or plastics, distinguishing it from other chemical products. For instance, HS-6 381230 covers different stabilisers that may not include TMQ mixtures.
When classifying products under this heading, it’s essential to note that while HS-6 381231 focuses on TMQ mixtures, other preparations might fall under different subheadings based on their chemical composition or intended use.
If you are dealing with rubber products that require enhanced durability and resistance to aging, this HS-6 code is crucial. It helps ensure compliance with regulations and proper tariff treatment.
