Import Tips
• Confirm the blocks are irregular in shape and not cut to regular geometric dimensions, as that would move them to heading 4008
• Provide documentation showing the chicle is harvested and minimally processed
• If the blocks are blended with other gums, check if they still qualify as chicle under 4001.30.00
