Import Tips
• Verify that any additives (e.g
• preservatives or stabilisers) are present only in very small amounts as allowed by chapter note 5(B)
• Provide a certificate of analysis confirming the absence of plasticisers or extenders
• Ensure the latex is classified as a mixture of natural gum and synthetic rubber, not as a finished chewing gum base
