Sourcing this category from India

HS 4008.11 covers Rubber; vulcanised (other than hard rubber), in plates, sheets and strip of cellular rubber. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India is a leading natural-rubber grower and a major exporter of tyres, gloves and industrial rubber goods. India exported $10.3M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 0.2% of all Chapter 40 exports, ranking #2 of 4 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

4008.11 is the six-digit HS subheading for rubber. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many plastics & rubber lines — check our import guides for your market.
