• Provide FTIR spectroscopy reports confirming synthetic rubber base (e.g

• polychloroprene) and cellular structure

• Declare exact density and compression set values to distinguish from plastic foams

• Avoid bundling with metal parts; import as separate rubber articles to prevent metal heading classification
