Import Tips
• 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
