What decides the code
A mouse pad with a fabric top over a cellular rubber base is classified as another article of vulcanized rubber under heading 4016, specifically 4016.10.00.00 for cellular rubber.
- The base material is cellular vulcanized rubber, which places the article in heading 4016 and in the cellular rubber subheading 4016.10.00.00.
- The fabric top is a surface layer over the rubber body, so the rubber gives the article its essential character for classification.
- A pad made of hard rubber or of plastic without a rubber base would fall outside heading 4016 and move to a different heading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 6302 or another textile heading is wrong because the fabric is only a top layer and the rubber body gives the article its character.
- Classifying under 3926 as another article of plastics is wrong because the base is vulcanized rubber, not plastic.
- Classifying under 8473 as a computer part is wrong because a mouse pad is a separate accessory, not a component of an ADP machine.
