Import Tips
• Ensure the granules are in primary form (bulk granules) and not compounded with additives like plasticisers or fillers, as that would change classification
• Declare the product as chicle, a natural gum, under heading 40.01, and keep supplier documentation showing no vulcanising agents were added
• If the granules are mixed with other substances, consult a customs broker to avoid reclassification
