Import Tips
• Verify the latex is not prevulcanized unless it is specifically prepared for that purpose, as prevulcanized latex is still allowed under Note 5(A)(i)
• Classify as guayule latex in primary liquid form
• Maintain documentation of the extraction process to demonstrate it is a natural gum
