U.S. imports of rubber waste, parings, scrap & derived powders and granules (HS 400400) totaled $1.2M in April 2026, traded with 27 countries.
Importers of Rubber Waste, Parings, Scrap & Derived Powders and Granules paid $30K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $292K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataRecovered under a single 10-digit line (4004000000), this heading captures post-industrial and post-consumer rubber scrap—excluding hard rubber—along with the crumb rubber and granules produced by mechanical or cryogenic size-reduction. The material feeds secondary compounding, rubber-modified asphalt, and molded-goods manufacturing, making it a key input for circular-economy supply chains. Canada and Mexico are the leading US suppliers, reflecting tight North American recycling networks, while Colombia, Denmark, and South Africa round out the supplier base.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Both crumb rubber (produced by grinding or cryogenic processing) and parings (trim offcuts from manufacturing) fall under 4004000000, provided the base material is non-hard vulcanized or unvulcanized rubber. The key exclusion is hard rubber (ebonite), which classifies separately under heading 4017.
Rubber waste and granules under 4004000000 are not broadly subject to Section 301 or antidumping orders as of recent schedules, but importers should verify current CBP guidance, as classification of processed crumb rubber can sometimes be disputed between headings 4004 and 4005.
