Neoprene Foam Sheet 1/8 Inch Thick
A flexible 1/8 inch thick sheet made from vulcanized cellular neoprene rubber, used for gaskets, seals, and insulation in industrial applications. It falls under HTS 4008.11.5000 as a plate, sheet, or strip of cellular rubber, not further worked beyond simple cutting to rectangular shape. The cellular structure provides compressibility and weather resistance.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not cellular (solid rubber)
Solid vulcanized rubber sheets classify under non-cellular heading 4008.21, as cellular note specifies foam/sponge structure.
If specifically manufactured as gasket material
Articles like precut gaskets are finished products under 4016.93, not raw sheets simply cut to rectangle.
If heavily plasticized or polymer-blended
If rubber content diluted with plastics beyond essential character, it shifts to Chapter 39 plastics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cellular structure via density testing to confirm classification under 4008; non-cellular falls elsewhere
• Provide manufacturer specs showing vulcanization and lack of further shaping
• Watch for misclassification as finished articles if cut to non-rectangular shapes
