Tariff classification
HTS codes: 3920.10.0000
Headings: 3920
Product description
The first sample is composed entirely of Hypalon, or chlorosulfonated polyethylene. Though you refer to Hypalon as a synthetic rubber, it is considered to be a plastics material for tariff purposes. This sample is flexible and the sheets will be imported in rolls. The second sample consists of a woven fabric completely imbedded or coated on both sides with Hypalon. To issue a ruling on this second product, we need to know the identity of the underlying fabric substrate, as well as the weight of the Hypalon rubber versus the weight of the fabric substrate.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the sheets composed entirely of Hypalon will be 3920.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, of plastics, noncellular and not reinforced, laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials, of polymers of ethylene.
