Import Tips
• Rolled sheets qualify if unwound form is rectangular per chapter note 8; document original sheet dimensions
• Specify weather resistance but avoid end-use claims that suggest finished articles (4016)
• Test for cellular structure (microscopic voids) vs solid rubber to maintain 4008.19 classification
