Import Tips
• Obtain SIR quality specs sheet showing compliance with ISO 2000 standards for Grade 5 to prevent downgrading disputes
• Declare exact moisture content (≤0.75%) and PRI values; deviations can lead to reclassification
• Use phytosanitary certificates for natural rubber to address agricultural import restrictions
