Natural Rubber Bump Stops for Automotive Suspension from Germany
Cylindrical buffers made of vulcanized natural rubber that limit suspension travel in cars, absorbing impacts. This HTS 4016.99.35 covers it as an other natural rubber article, not a tire, belt, or excluded part. The shock-absorbing function for vehicles fits the residual 'other' category.

Import Tips
• Declare as rubber articles, not vehicle parts (8708), unless assembled into suspension system
• Certify natural rubber origin; blends over 50% synthetic may reclassify
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as hard rubber, which excludes from this subheading
