About HS Code 400829
This HS code covers vulcanised non-cellular rubber in forms other than plates, sheets, or strips, excluding hard rubber. This category includes a wide array of solid rubber products that are moulded, extruded, or otherwise shaped for specific industrial and consumer applications. These goods leverage the high strength, resilience, and durability of non-cellular rubber. International trade is driven by demand from diverse manufacturing sectors, including automotive, construction, machinery, and consumer goods. Countries with advanced rubber moulding and extrusion capabilities, such as China, Germany, and the United States, are typically major exporters. Importers are manufacturers globally who integrate these specialised solid rubber components into their final products, particularly in regions with strong industrial bases like the EU, North America, and Asia. Key trade factors include the specific shape, polymer type (e.g., NBR, EPDM, natural rubber), hardness, and compliance with performance standards for oil resistance, temperature, or abrasion.
Products Under This Code
Rubber profiles, moulded rubber parts, extruded rubber cords, solid rubber blocks, custom rubber seals, rubber bushings, rubber grommets.
Real World Examples
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies moulded parts, Continental ContiTech rubber profiles, Gates industrial rubber components, Rubber-Cal solid rubber cords, custom automotive rubber parts.
Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with 400821 (non-cellular rubber in plates, sheets, strips) or 3926 (other articles of plastics), as the distinction lies in the specific form and the rubber material.
EU Regulatory Requirements
This product category is subject to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Importers must provide due diligence statements proving the product was not produced on deforested land after December 31, 2020.
Products Classified Under 4008.29
Industry
This code belongs to the Automotive & Vehicles industry.
Trade Overview
China, Germany, and the United States are key exporters, while the United States, Mexico, and Canada are major importers of these diverse non-cellular rubber forms.
