Import Tips
• Provide certificates of analysis showing solids content <60% and no vulcanizing accelerators beyond note 5(b)
• Label containers clearly as 'chloroprene latex' to aid CBP verification against chapter exclusions
• Watch for bulk packaging that might suggest plates/sheets, ensuring it's shipped as liquid/paste
