Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the pads are not laminated or coated with plastics or rubber, as that could shift classification to Chapter 39 or 40
• Provide the automotive OEM spec sheet to show the wadding is a cushioning layer, not a structural component
• Verify the fiber blend to ensure it does not qualify for a more specific wadding subheading
