Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming vulcanized rubber composition and no metal reinforcement to stay in 4009.32
• Document fitting types (e.g
• NPT threads) and ensure they are permanently attached, not loose accessories
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'parts' if sold ready-for-use; this leads to incorrect Chapter 84/87 classification
