Import Tips
• Confirm the pod is not an integral part of the electronics, which would classify under Section XVI
• Ensure the rubber is vulcanized and not hard rubber, as hard rubber is excluded from Chapter 40
• Provide documentation showing the pod's function as packing material, not as an electrical component
