HS HEADING 3812

Prepared rubber accelerators; compound plasticisers for rubber or plastics, n.e.c. or included; anti-oxidising preparations and other compound stabilisers for rubber or plastics

In plain English

This category includes prepared rubber accelerators, compound plasticisers for rubber or plastics, and anti-oxidising preparations or other compound stabilisers for these materials. The items are separated based on their specific function and chemical composition. One group covers rubber accelerators and compound plasticisers. Another group distinguishes between stabilisers that are mixtures of oligomers of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline and those that are not.

Chapter 38 classification notes

Chapter 38 includes pesticides (3808) which are subject to FAO Rotterdam Convention prior-informed-consent for many active ingredients. Diagnostic reagents (3822) often dual-classified with Chapter 30 medicines.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Insect repellent (DEET) — depending on form, 3808 (commercial pesticide) vs. 3304 (cosmetic preparation).

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
