Import Tips
• Declare exact polymer composition (e.g
• polychloroprene >95% per notes) to prevent misclassification as copolymers
• Provide machinery end-use certification if borderline with rubber; watch for customs queries on cord integration
• Label with pitch and tooth count for statistical reporting; pitfall is incomplete HTS suffix documentation
