Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in smoked sheet form instead of air-dried bales
Smoked natural rubber sheets are specifically under 4001.21, distinct from TSNR bale forms.
If compounded with rubber chemicals exceeding Chapter Note 5(b) limits
Compounded natural rubber mixtures shift to 4005, as they no longer retain raw material character.
If for latex form rather than solid bales
Natural rubber latex in liquid primary form is classified under 4001.1x subheadings, not solid TSNR.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include ISO 2000 series compliance certificates; SMR 20 must meet Mooney viscosity and prior dirt levels
• Label bales clearly with grade markings to facilitate customs verification of primary form status
• Segregate from lower grades like SMR 10 to prevent commingling and misclassification
