Import Tips & Compliance

Include lab test results showing powder form and no prohibited compounding agents like pigments beyond identification use

Check for REACH/SVHC compliance if from EU; US CBP requires proof of primary rubber character

Avoid misdeclaration as finished adhesive (3506) by documenting raw material end-use
