Import Tips
• Verify supplier certification confirming TSNR Grade 20 specs (dirt ≤0.20%, ash ≤0.75%) to avoid reclassification as unstandardized rubber
• Provide mill test reports and bale markings during customs entry to prove primary form status per Chapter Note 5
• Avoid shipments with added vulcanizing agents or fillers, as they shift to heading 4004 or 4005
