Last updated: July 2026 dataRubber aprons, protective suits, and other wearable articles of vulcanized non-hard rubber — excluding gloves — serve industrial, laboratory, and food-processing environments where chemical or liquid resistance is essential. The US schedule breaks this heading into aprons (4015900010) and all other non-apron apparel articles (4015900050), with a legacy catch-all line (4015900000) also present. Malaysia leads US imports under this heading, followed by China and Mexico. Articles intended for occupational safety applications may be subject to OSHA performance standards that influence buyer specifications and documentation requirements.

478 shipments/mo
Gloves, mittens, and mitts of vulcanized rubber are specifically excluded from 401590 and classified under heading 401511 (surgical/medical) or 401519 (all others). Any wearable rubber article that is not a hand covering — aprons, sleeves, boot covers, protective suits — belongs under 401590 provided it is of vulcanized non-hard rubber.
Standard customs documentation applies, but buyers sourcing for regulated workplaces should verify that articles meet applicable OSHA or ANSI/ISEA performance standards, as those specifications are often contractual requirements. No mandatory admissibility permit is required at the border for these purely industrial articles, though country-of-origin marking under 19 CFR Part 134 must be satisfied.
