It is said to be used in the automotive industry as a type of sound dampening material typically installed behind the dashboard and other places inside a motor vehicle.

The applicable subheading for the referenced product, Vizorb X859-3, will be 4823.90.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Other (than certain specified) articles of paper pulp. The rate of duty will be Free.
