TSNR Grade 5 Ribbed Smoke Sheet from Japan
Technically Specified Natural Rubber (TSNR) Grade 5 is a lightly smoked sheet made from coagulated natural latex, processed to meet specific technical standards for quality and consistency. It falls under HTS 4001.22.00.05 as it is TSNR in primary sheet form, with moderate dirt content and ash levels suitable for mid-range industrial applications. This form retains the essential character of raw natural rubber without prohibited compounding.

Import Tips
• Verify supplier certification confirming TSNR Grade 5 specs (e.g
• DIRTMAT ≤0.20%, nitrogen ≤0.60%) to avoid reclassification as lower grades
• Include lab test reports for ash, dirt, and plasticity retention index (PRI) in documentation for CBP examination
• Ensure no vulcanizing agents or fillers added, as this would shift to heading 4004 or exclude from primary forms
