HS Code for Liquid Silicone
The HS code classification for liquid silicone depends on its specific composition and intended use. Here are a few common scenarios:
Unfilled or unadditive silicone polymers in primary forms: If liquid silicone is a polysiloxane in primary forms and does not contain fillers or other additives, it can be classified under HS code 39100000. The corresponding trade name for this code is "polysiloxane in primary forms." When declaring liquid silicone, the declaration elements typically include the product name, brand type, export preferential treatment, composition content, type and ratio of monomer units, brand, model, GTIN, and CAS number.
Liquid silicone with fillers or additives: If fillers (such as silica) or additives are added to liquid silicone to impart specific properties for use in specific industries, the classification will vary. For example, liquid silicone used in the electronics industry for potting and sealing, and containing fillers and other additives, may be classified under 39199090, which corresponds to "Other self-adhesive plastic plates, sheets, films, and other flat materials, whether or not in rolls." Declaration elements include product name, brand type, export preferential status, ingredient content, processing method (whether self-adhesive or not), appearance, brand, specifications and dimensions, roll length and width, weight per square meter, GTIN, CAS number, etc.
Liquid silicone products for specific purposes: If liquid silicone is processed into products for specific purposes, such as molds made of liquid silicone, they may be classified under 82076090 (Other interchangeable tools, including molds for metal drawing or extrusion). Liquid silicone products for medical use are more complex to classify, depending on the specific medical use and product characteristics, and may be classified under the relevant codes in Chapter 90.
