HS-6 400510: Rubber; unvulcanised, compounded with carbon black or silica, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 400510 when importing or exporting unvulcanised compounded rubber that contains carbon black or silica, typically found in sheets or strips. For example, a shipment of rubber sheets used in tire manufacturing would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers rubber that has been compounded with carbon black or silica but has not yet undergone vulcanization. In contrast, HS-6 400520 applies to similar rubber compounded with other materials, which may affect its applications and classification.

When dealing with HS-6 400510, you are focusing on primary forms of rubber, which can be further processed into finished products. This differs from HS-6 400590, which includes unvulcanised rubber not compounded with carbon black or silica.
