Import Tips
• Confirm that the PIB is in primary forms (pellets, granules) and that isobutylene monomer content exceeds 95% by weight
• Maintain supplier certificates of analysis to support classification
• Check if the PIB qualifies as a synthetic rubber under Chapter 40, which may affect classification and duties
