U.S. imports of styrene-butadiene rubber (sbr) / carboxylated sbr (xsbr) latex (HS 400211) totaled $1.9M in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) / Carboxylated SBR (XSBR) Latex paid $182K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.8% on $1.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) / Carboxylated SBR (XSBR) Latex imports of $1.9M in April 2026 ran 11% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSBR and XSBR latex are synthetic rubber dispersions widely used as binders in paper coatings, carpet backing, and non-woven fabrics, as well as in construction adhesives and foam products. Japan leads US supply of this form, with Spain and India also significant sources, reflecting the concentration of latex emulsion polymerization capacity in established petrochemical economies. The single US tariff line 4002110000 covers both SBR and the carboxylated variant XSBR; buyers should specify which polymer type is required in purchase contracts, as XSBR's carboxyl groups impart different adhesion and film-forming properties that affect end-product performance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
XSBR (carboxylated SBR) contains carboxylic acid functional groups introduced during polymerization, which improve adhesion, wet strength, and compatibility with pigments — making it preferred for paper coating and specialty adhesive applications. Despite these performance differences, both SBR and XSBR latex are classified under the same tariff line (4002110000), so the distinction is commercially and technically significant but does not create a separate classification.
SBR latex from certain origins may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders; importers should check the CBP ADD/CVD case reference list and USITC orders for the specific country of origin before entry. Trade remedy exposure can change with new investigations or scope rulings, so verifying current order status with a licensed customs broker prior to each shipment is recommended.
