Import Tips
• Verify the paste is not prevulcanised unless it is specifically prevulcanised latex, which is still allowed under 4001.30.00
• Provide a technical data sheet to CBSA showing the paste is a natural gum emulsion without synthetic additives
• If the paste contains preservatives or stabilisers in very small amounts, it remains classified here per Chapter 40 Note 5(B)
