Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the rubber is truly unvulcanized through lab testing, as vulcanized forms shift to heading 4016
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming no vulcanizing agents were added beyond permitted raw material additives
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as scrap (4004) if suitable for further processing
