Import Tips
• Ensure the seals are clearly identifiable as finished articles (e.g
• cut to length with mounting features) to avoid classification as profile shapes under 4008
• Keep records of the rubber composition (e.g
• EPDM, neoprene) to support the cellular rubber classification
• Verify the seals are not part of a set that includes other materials, which could affect classification
