Overview
This HTS category, 4008.11.10.00, specifically covers plates, sheets, and strip made from cellular vulcanized rubber, where the rubber is of natural origin. These products are characterized by their porous or foamed structure, which imparts properties like cushioning, insulation, or sealing. The key distinguishing factor is the material being natural rubber.
This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 4008.11.50.00 ("Other"). The sibling category encompasses plates, sheets, and strip of cellular vulcanized rubber that are *not* of natural rubber, meaning they are derived from synthetic rubber. Therefore, the primary determinant for choosing between these two categories is the origin of the rubber used in the cellular material.
As this node is a leaf node, it has no further subdivisions. Classification under 4008.11.10.00 is definitive for plates, sheets, and strip of cellular vulcanized rubber if the material is confirmed to be natural rubber. Examples of such goods could include specialized cushioning materials or flexible insulation sheets utilized in various industrial applications where the inherent properties of cellular natural rubber are required.
