Import Tips

• Verify the latex is uncompounded with vulcanizing agents, pigments, or fillers beyond permitted additives to maintain primary form classification

• Provide certificate of analysis confirming NBR composition and prevulcanization status to avoid reclassification as a finished article

• Check for restrictions on medical-grade materials; ensure documentation matches end-use declarations
