Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pale crepe sheets instead of TSNR
Pale crepe natural rubber has distinct processing and is in a different subheading.
If compounded with allowed stabilizers exceeding raw material character
Compounded rubbers shift out of primary natural rubber headings.
If made into new pneumatic tires rather than raw material
Finished tires are classified as articles, not primary rubber forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain ISO or ASTM certification for specs; U.S
• Customs may require verification
• Declare exact moisture content (typically <1%) to prevent mold claims during transit
• Avoid bulk shipments without proper ventilation—rubber bales can degrade if overheated
