Import Tips & Compliance

Include chemical composition report confirming synthetic rubber and noncellular nature to distinguish from latex or primary forms

Specify 'vulcanized strip, rectangular cross-section' in invoices; pitfall is confusing with profile shapes under 4008.70

Check for oil-extended variants which may still qualify under 4008 if retaining raw material character
