Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If rectangular 'plates' rather than circular discs
Circular shapes don't qualify as 'plates/sheets/strip' under chapter note 7, which requires rectangular cuts.
If fully finished as rubber articles
If processed beyond unvulcanized state into end-use items like gaskets, it moves to chapter 40 other articles.
