U.S. imports of vulcanized rubber rods & profile shapes (noncellular) (HS 400829) totaled $3.0M in April 2026, traded with 48 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataExtruded and molded noncellular vulcanized rubber in rod, profile, and other custom cross-sectional shapes serves sealing, vibration-damping, and structural gasketing functions across construction, automotive, and industrial equipment sectors. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading into three 10-digit lines — 4008290000 (rods), 4008292000 (profile shapes), and 4008294000 (other shapes, NESOI) — making precise shape description in commercial invoices essential to avoid misclassification between lines. Profile shapes are distinguished by their consistent cross-sectional geometry produced by extrusion, whereas 'other shapes' covers molded or cut forms that do not fit the rod or profile definitions. Section 301 exposure applies to imports from certain origins, and the multi-line structure means each shape type must be declared separately.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Profile shapes are defined by a uniform cross-section produced continuously by extrusion — think door seals, window glazing channels, or T-sections. 'Other shapes' under 4008294000 captures molded, cut, or otherwise formed rubber pieces that have a defined geometry but are not produced as continuous extruded profiles. Providing a cross-sectional drawing and manufacturing process description in the entry package helps CBP confirm the correct line.
Imports from certain countries may be subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on origin. Because the three 10-digit lines under 4008 carry the same base rate, the Section 301 applicability is driven by country of origin rather than shape type. Importers should verify current Section 301 lists and any applicable exclusions before entry.
