Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

4006.10.00.00Lower: 20.4% vs 35%

If rectangular 'plates' rather than circular discs

Circular shapes don't qualify as 'plates/sheets/strip' under chapter note 7, which requires rectangular cuts.

4016.99.60Higher: 37.5% vs 35%

If fully finished as rubber articles

If processed beyond unvulcanized state into end-use items like gaskets, it moves to chapter 40 other articles.
