Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If vulcanized or surface-worked beyond simple cuts
Any vulcanization or further working moves rods to heading 4008 for vulcanized rubber.
If made from synthetic rubber
Synthetic rubber versions of the same rods/tubes/profiles are in the 'other' subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide manufacturer specs showing cross-section under 5mm if thread-like to avoid 4008 note; ensure no compounding with fillers beyond note 5(b) limits
• Common pitfall: confusing with reclaimed rubber (4003)
