NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) cellular foam sheets for oil-resistant gaskets and seals in automotive applications. Falls under 4008.19.80.00 as 'other' cellular vulcanized rubber plates not for floor coverings or celling rubber. Rectangular sheets simply surface-worked (e.g., textured).

Import Tips
• Provide oil resistance certification (ASTM standards) but classify based on cellular rubber form, not end use
• Distinguish from hard rubber via durometer testing (<95 Shore A); hard rubber goes to 4008.11
• Ensure no vulcanizing agents/pigments exceed chapter note 5 limits, maintaining 'simple' sheet classification
