Classification of rubber solution: organic solvents exclude natural rubber heading, so solutions qualify as compounded rubber under tariff. Organic solvents remove the product from classification as natural rubber under Heading No. 40.01 because note 5(b) does not cover solvents and note 3's primary-form treatment does not apply to 40.01; a solution of natural rubber in an organic solvent cannot be treated as a primary form. As the dissolved rubber forms a homogeneous solution capable of being treated as compounded rubber, the Board views such rubber solution as classifiable under sub-heading 4005.00 of the Central Excise Tariff.
