Import Tips
• Ensure the sheets are not compounded with additives like vulcanizing agents or fillers, as this would exclude them from heading 40.01
• Declare the goods as balata in primary form (plates/sheets) under tariff item 4001.30.00
• Keep records of the botanical source to support classification if questioned by CBSA
