Frequently Asked Questions
What are the country-specific import restrictions for industrial adhesives classified under HTS 350691 when shipping to China?
China requires a mandatory China Compulsory Certification (CCC Mark) for many industrial adhesives, particularly solvent-based types, due to VOC emission and safety regulations. Importers must also ensure the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is accurately translated into Chinese and may face additional scrutiny under China's "Dangerous Chemicals" catalog if the adhesive formulation contains listed hazardous components.
How does the specific rubber or plastic base of an industrial adhesive affect its classification under HTS 3506.91?
The classification hinges on whether the adhesive is 'based on' rubber or plastics, which is determined by the weight of the polymer in the dry extract. For example, a solvent-based adhesive where synthetic rubber constitutes the greatest dry weight falls here, while one where acrylic polymer is dominant would be classified elsewhere, such as 3506.99. The specific polymer base is the decisive material factor for this subheading.
Alternative & Similar Classifications
Adhesives based on rubber or plastics are often confused with this code but are classified elsewhere. Specifically, rubber-based adhesives are typically classified under heading 3506 but in subheadings like 3506 91 or 3506 99, depending on the specific rubber type (e.g., 3506 91 0050 for certain synthetic rubbers). Adhesives with a basis of plastics (e.g., polyvinyl acetate) are classified in heading 3505. Furthermore, single-component acrylic adhesives in primary forms may fall under heading 3506, while similar two-part acrylic reactive adhesives are often found in heading 3506 91 0000.
