Import Tips

Verify supplier certifications confirming TSNR Grade 10 specs (e.g

<0.20% ash, <0.60% nitrogen) to avoid reclassification as compounded rubber

Provide mill test reports and bale markings during customs entry to prove primary form status and prevent duty upgrades

Watch for contamination with vulcanizing agents or fillers, which could shift classification out of heading 4001 per chapter notes
