Import Tips
• Obtain vulcanization certification; unvulcanized EPDM would classify under 4002 as synthetic rubber in primary forms
• Avoid importing pre-cut gaskets—these shift to 4016.99 as other rubber articles
• Label with precise material specs (EPDM polymer) to prevent disputes over synthetic vs natural rubber
