Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the plate is cellular (foam rubber)

If the plate is cut to a specific shape for a particular use
Articles of vulcanized rubber, other than hard rubber, are classified under heading 40.16 when they are more than simply cut to shape.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the plate is made of isoprene rubber and is noncellular, as cellular rubber plates fall under a different tariff item
• Keep records of the rubber's composition and vulcanization process for CBSA inspection
• If the plate is surface-worked or printed beyond simple identification, it may be classified elsewhere
