Import Tips
• Ensure documentation specifies 'unvulcanized compounded rubber' to distinguish from vulcanized plates
• Check for prohibited additives like excess plasticizers that could shift classification to heading 4001 exclusions
• Use rectangular uncut plates to stay within 'plates, sheets, strip' definition; avoid pre-cut shapes
