Product description4001.29.94DEPROTEINISED NATURAL RUBBER (DPNR)
CAO SU TỰ NHIÊN ĐÃ KHỬ PROTEIN (DPNR)
Deproteinised natural rubber (DPNR) is a purified form of natural rubber (NR) with very low nitrogen and ash contents. It is a speciality rubber intended for use in special engineering applications. It is normally prepared by treating NR latex with a proteinase to hydrolyse the proteins in the latex to more water soluble forms which can then be washed away during processing. The removal of most of the proteins and ash-containing substances makes DPNR a much purer rubber.
The DPNR contains about 96% rubber hydrocarbons compared about 93% in commercial Standard Malaysian Rubber (SMR) grades. The removal of these non-rubber (protein and ash content) components confers special attributes to the rubber which enhances its suitability for specialized rubber product applications. This action confers certain special attributes (to DPNR) especially when compounded in conjunction with the soluble efficient vulcanisation systems.
As a result, DPNR has a very low water absorption compared to normal natural rubber. This therefore, makes it relatively less sensitive to adventitious and absorbed water, thus, giving greater consistency in cure behavior and vulcanised modulus under conditions of variable humidity.
Furthermore, DPNR has a lower creep and stress relaxation than those of normal natural rubber and some interesting dynamic properties and easy processing characteristics. All these special features give DPNR a special status and it is used in applications where the requirements for such properties are very stringent eg. anti-vibration mountings, shock absorbers, building mounts, hydro mounts etc.
The yellowish colour represent the starting raw material from Natural Rubber source. This is differ from the synthetic counterparts which the rubber is white in colour. This is due to the none present of the non rubber in the material.

Tiếng Việt
Cao su tự nhiên đã khử protein (DPNR) là một dạng đã tinh chế của cao su tự nhiên (NR) với hàm lượng nitơ và tro rất thấp. Nó là một loại cao su đặc biệt nhằm mục đích sử dụng trong các ứng dụng kỹ thuật đặc biệt. Nó thường được điều chế bằng cách xử lý mủ cao su NR với một proteinase (nhóm enzym thuỷ phân) để thủy phân các protein trong mủ thành các dạng dễ tan trong nước hơn, sau đó có thể bị rửa trôi trong quá trình chế biến. Việc loại bỏ hầu hết các protein và các chất chứa tro làm cho DPNR trở thành một loại cao su tinh khiết hơn nhiều.
DPNR chứa khoảng 96% hydrocacbon cao su so với khoảng 93% trong các loại Cao su Malaysia tiêu chuẩn (SMR) thương mại. Việc loại bỏ các thành phần không phải cao su (hàm lượng protein và tro) này mang lại các thuộc tính đặc biệt cho cao su, giúp tăng cường tính phù hợp của nó cho các ứng dụng sản phẩm cao su chuyên dụng. Việc này tạo ra các thuộc tính đặc biệt nhất định (cho DPNR), đặc biệt khi được kết hợp cùng với các hệ thống lưu hóa hiệu quả hòa tan.
Như vậy, DPNR có độ hút nước rất thấp so với cao su tự nhiên thông thường. Do đó, điều này làm cho nó tương đối ít nhạy cảm hơn với sự hấp thụ nước và giảm tính bất định, do đó, mang lại tính nhất quán cao hơn trong quá trình lưu hóa và mô đun lưu hóa trong điều kiện độ ẩm thay đổi.
Hơn nữa, DPNR có độ giãn nở và ứng suất thấp hơn so với cao su tự nhiên thông thường và có một số đặc tính động lực học thú vị và đặc tính dễ gia công. Tất cả các tính năng đặc biệt này tạo cho DPNR một trạng thái đặc biệt và nó được sử dụng trong các ứng dụng mà các yêu cầu đối với các thuộc tính đó rất nghiêm ngặt, ví dụ, giá đỡ chống rung, giảm xóc, giá đỡ xây dựng, giá đỡ thủy lực, …
Màu hơi vàng thể hiện nguyên liệu ban đầu từ nguồn cao su tự nhiên, khác với các loại cao su tổng hợp là cao su có màu trắng. Điều này là do không có mặt của thành phần phi cao su trong vật liệu.

Notes for Section VII — PLASTICS AND ARTICLES THEREOF; RUBBER AND ARTICLES THEREOF
Notes
1. Goods put up in sets consisting of two or more separate constituents, some or all of which fall in this Section and are intended to be mixed together to obtain a product of Section VI or VII, are to be classified in the heading appropriate to that product, provided that the constituents are:
(a) having regard to the manner in which they are put up, clearly identifiable as being intended to be used together without first being repacked;
(b) presented together; and
(c) identifiable, whether by their nature or by the relative proportions in which they are present, as being complementary one to another.
2. Except for the goods of heading 39.18 or 39.19, plastics, rubber, and articles thereof, printed with motifs, characters or pictorial representations, which are not merely subsidiary to the primary use of the goods, fall in Chapter 49.
Notes for Chapter 40 — Rubber and articles thereof
Notes
1. Except where the context otherwise requires, throughout the Nomenclature the expression “rubber” means the following products, whether or not vulcanised or hard: natural rubber, balata, gutta-percha, guayule, chicle and similar natural gums, synthetic rubber, factice derived from oils, and such substances reclaimed.
2. This Chapter does not cover:

2025: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2025 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 16 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.
| Flow | 2023 | 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 21 mn USD | 18 mn USD | -16% |
| Imports | 12 mn USD | 4 mn USD | -69% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 21 mn USD where Vietnam reported 658,874 USD — 31.96× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 12 mn USD where Vietnam reported 591 mn USD — 0.02× on this measure.
The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 4001.29 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 1 US line under 4001.29.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 4001.29.00.00 | Natural rubber in other forms › Other(kg) | Free |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.
