Import Tips
• Note that prevulcanised latex is specifically allowed under 4001.30.00, but the latex must be based on chicle or similar natural gums
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the latex is prevulcanised and not fully vulcanised
• If the latex contains added vulcanising agents beyond what is needed for prevulcanisation, classification may change
