Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made primarily from polyurethane foam rather than rubber
Cellular plastics like PU foam are classified in Chapter 39, not rubber Chapter 40.
If non-cellular vulcanized rubber
Loses cellular rubber specificity, falling into the general vulcanized rubber articles heading.
If base metal frame with cellular rubber as minor component
Mountings of base metal take precedence over rubber material per classification rules.
