Viton O-Ring for Hydraulic Cylinder Seals
High-temperature resistant Viton (FKM) O-ring used in hydraulic cylinders for heavy machinery. Classified under HTS 4016.93.50.10 due to its vulcanized rubber composition and role as a precision seal with circular cross-section. Excludes hard rubber per Chapter 40 notes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied in uncut plate/sheet form over 5mm thick before fabrication
Unworked plates, sheets, or profiles of vulcanized rubber classify in 4008 per Chapter notes, not finished seals.
If imported specifically as parts of cranes or lifting machinery
Machinery parts of Chapter 84 supersede general rubber articles when principal use is identified.
If made of silicone rubber instead of standard nitrile/Viton
Different rubber polymers may shift to other statistical suffixes within the gaskets/seals subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include chemical resistance certifications (e.g
• ASTM standards) to support rubber classification and duty rate application
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests 'parts of machines' to prevent reclassification under heading 8484
• Declare exact durometer hardness to confirm not hard rubber, which would exclude from this HTS
