Neoprene Foam Sheet 1/8 Inch Thick from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
