such as extenders, plasticisers and fillers, is not permitted;
 (b) Thioplasts (TM); and
 (c) Natural rubber modified by grafting or mixing with plastics, depolymerised natural rubber, mixtures of unsaturated synthetic substances with saturated synthetic high polymers provided that all the above‑mentioned products comply with the requirements concerning vulcanisation, elongation and recovery in (a) above.
           5.‑ (A) 4001 and 4002 do not apply to any rubber or mixture of rubbers which has been compounded, before or after coagulation, with:
 (i) vulcanising agents, accelerators, retarders or activators (other than those added for the preparation of prevulcanised rubber latex);
 (ii) pigments or other colouring matter, other than those added solely for the purpose of identification;
 (iii) plasticisers or extenders (except mineral oil in the case of oil‑extended rubber), fillers, reinforcing agents, organic solvents or any other substances, except those permitted under (B);
 (B) The presence of the following substances in any rubber or mixture of rubbers shall not affect its classification in 4001 or 4002, as the case may be, provided that such rubber or mixture of rubbers retains its essential character as a raw material:
 (i) emulsifiers or anti‑tack agents;
 (ii) small amounts of breakdown products of emulsifiers;
 (iii) very small amounts of the following: heat‑sensitive agents (generally for obtaining thermosensitive rubber latexes), cationic surface‑active agents (generally for obtaining electro‑positive rubber latexes), antioxidants, coagulants, crumbling agents, freeze‑resisting agents, peptisers, preservatives, stabilisers, viscosity‑control agents, or similar special‑purpose additives.
 6.‑ For the purposes of 4004.00.00, "waste, parings and scrap" means rubber waste, parings and scrap from the manufacture or working of rubber and rubber goods definitely not usable as such because of cutting‑up, wear or other reasons.
 7.‑ Thread wholly of vulcanised rubber, of which any cross‑sectional dimension exceeds 5 mm, is to be classified as strip, rods or profile shapes, of 4008.
 8.‑ 4010 includes conveyor or transmission belts or belting of textile fabric impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with rubber or made from textile yarn or cord impregnated, coated, covered or sheathed with rubber.
 9.‑ In 4001, 4002, 4003.00.00, 4005 and 4008, "plates", "sheets" and "strip" apply only to plates, sheets and strip and to blocks of regular geometric shape, uncut or simply cut to rectangular (including square) shape, whether or not having the character of articles and whether or not printed or otherwise surface‑worked, but not otherwise cut to shape or further worked.
In 4008 "rods" and "profile shapes" apply only to such products, whether or not cut to length or surface‑worked but not otherwise worked.
