Last updated: August 2026 dataAromatic antioxidants and compound stabilizers for rubber and plastics are specialty chemical additives that prevent thermal and oxidative degradation during processing and end-use service life. The US tariff schedule breaks this heading into six distinct 10-digit lines, including mixtures of N,N'-diaryl-p-phenylenediamines (3812392000), master batches of poly[nitrilomethanetetraarylnitr] (3812393000), and bis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl) sebacate — a hindered-amine light stabilizer (HALS) — at 3812397000. Indonesia leads US import supply, followed by Mexico and Canada, making USMCA origin documentation a routine compliance consideration for North American sourced material. Importers should verify whether specific aromatic or modified plasticizer lines fall under Section 301 exposure depending on the country of origin.

Bis(1,2,2,6,6-pentamethyl-4-piperidinyl) sebacate, a common HALS, has its own dedicated line at 3812397000. Other aromatic or modified compound stabilizers not specifically enumerated typically fall under the residual line 3812399000. Classification should be confirmed against the product's chemical identity and CBP binding ruling guidance.
Yes. Mixtures of N,N'-diaryl-p-phenylenediamines — widely used as antiozonants in rubber compounding — are specifically enumerated at 3812392000, distinct from the broader residual stabilizer lines. Correct classification requires confirming the chemical composition and mixture ratios against the tariff schedule language.
