HS Code 4008.29 – Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), non-cellular rubber, in forms other than plates, sheets or strip
HS code 4008.29 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, vulcanised (other than hard rubber), non-cellular rubber, in forms other than plates, sheets or strip. It is used for rubber profiles, moulded rubber parts, extruded rubber cords, solid rubber blocks and custom rubber seals.
What HS 4008.29 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 4008.29
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 400829, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 400829 in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 21% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 12% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
