Rubber Band

Rubber Band in foreign trade usually refers to an elastic ring made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, belonging to light industrial daily necessities or stationery products. Customs classification is often based on material and use, under tariff heading 4016 (vulcanized rubber products) or 9615 (stationery). Usage scenarios include: office stationery, food packaging bundling, industrial bundling, etc. Notes: 1. Material must be specified (natural rubber/nitrile rubber/latex); different materials affect price, elasticity, and environmental certification; 2. Size (diameter, width, thickness) and color must be clearly stated in the contract to avoid disputes caused by specification differences; 3. If used for food contact, it must comply with food-grade standards such as FDA or LFGB; 4. Difference from 'Rubber Ring': rubber bands are usually thinner and more elastic, used for bundling; rubber rings are mostly for sealing or fixing purposes, with more precise specifications. Difference from 'Elastic Band': the latter may refer to textile-covered elastic bands, with broader uses. In foreign trade quotations, packaging method (bulk/bag/box) and minimum order quantity must be indicated.
