Last updated: April 2026 dataThe 'not elsewhere specified' designation places this heading as the residual category for unvulcanized compounded rubber that does not qualify under the carbon-black/silica or solution/dispersion headings — capturing specialty compounds using fillers such as clay, chalk, or proprietary mineral blends. Physical form (primary forms, plates, sheets, or strip) mirrors the carbon-black heading, but the compound chemistry is the differentiating factor. Specialty sealing, vibration-damping, and pharmaceutical-grade rubber intermediates frequently fall here when their filler systems fall outside the named categories.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The key test is the primary reinforcing or extending filler. If the compound is specifically formulated with carbon black or silica as the dominant filler, it belongs under 62111. If it is supplied as a solution or dispersion without those fillers, it falls under 62112. Any other compounded unvulcanized rubber in solid primary forms, plates, sheets, or strip defaults to this NES heading.
Unvulcanized rubber compounds intended for food-contact or pharmaceutical applications may be subject to FDA review under food-contact material regulations or drug-component standards. Importers should confirm the intended end-use and consult with a licensed customs broker or regulatory counsel to determine whether FDA prior notice or compliance documentation is required.
