Questions
HS code 400220: common questions
What is HS code 400220?
HS code 400220 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Synthetic rubber and factice derived from oils, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip; mixtures of any product of heading 4001 with any product of this heading, in primary forms or in plates, sheets or strip : Butadiene rubber (BR)". The first two digits (40) are the chapter — Rubber and articles thereof — and digits 3-4 (4002) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 400220?
Common products classified under 400220 include butadiene rubber, BR, polybutadiene rubber, BR bale, BR sheet and similar items matching butadiene rubber. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 400220?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 400220 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (400220) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
