Import Tips
• Confirm the packing is made of vulcanized cellular rubber and not simply foam plastic, which falls under Chapter 39
• If the packing is cut to specific dimensions for a particular product, it may be considered a finished article; otherwise, sheets or blocks may fall under 4008
• Keep supplier documentation on the rubber type and density for CBSA verification
