Import Tips & Compliance

Verify cellular structure via density testing to confirm classification under 4008.19 vs non-cellular 4008.11

Provide manufacturer specs showing vulcanized rubber composition excluding hard rubber

Avoid misclassification as finished articles by documenting as bulk profile shapes, not cut-to-length seals
