Import Tips
• Submit detailed polymer spec sheets confirming elastomeric nature and acrylic predominance to CBP upon entry
• Label shipments clearly as 'elastomeric acrylic polymers' to prevent confusion with rigid plastics
• Watch for chemically modified versions; they may shift to 'Other' if not specifically elastomeric
