Import Tips
• Confirm carbon black content via spectrographic analysis; misdeclared fillers can trigger audits
• Label bales clearly as 'unvulcanized compounded rubber' to prevent confusion with finished vulcanizates
• Watch for EU REACH compliance if transshipping, as silica compounds have additional registration needs
