U.S. exports of unvulcanized rubber rods, tubes, profile shapes & articles (nesoi) (HS 400690) totaled $4.9M in July 2026.
Importers of Unvulcanized Rubber Rods, Tubes, Profile Shapes & Articles (NESOI) paid $108K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $577K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFormed but uncured rubber articles—including rods, tubes, profile shapes, rings, discs, and washers—that have not yet been vulcanized fall under heading 400690, which the US schedule subdivides by rubber type: natural rubber (4006901000) and non-natural rubber (4006905000), with a legacy combined line (4006900000). These intermediate forms serve sealing, gasketing, and assembly applications where the fabricator completes vulcanization in-process. Canada leads US imports, with China and Mexico also significant; Chinese-origin goods may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification a routine compliance step.

The US subdivides heading 400690 by polymer origin: 4006901000 covers forms and articles of natural rubber, 4006905000 covers those of non-natural (synthetic) rubber, and 4006900000 is a legacy combined line. The distinction matters because natural and synthetic rubber can carry different duty rates and may be subject to different trade-remedy measures.
Once the rubber has been vulcanized (cured), it exits heading 4006 entirely and classifies under headings 4008–4017 depending on form and use. Additionally, if an unvulcanized shape is incorporated into a composite article (e.g., a rubber-metal assembly), the classification of the finished article governs rather than the rubber component alone.
