Import Tips
• Provide polymerization process certification distinguishing from E-SBR to prevent duty disputes
• Label bales clearly as 'S-SBR solution polymerized' with composition; avoid generic 'SBR' markings
• Watch for moisture content affecting bale integrity, which could trigger waste classification under 4004
