Import Tips
• 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
