Import Tips
• Certify oil resistance via ASTM standards in documentation; mislabeling as general rubber leads to reclassification
• Declare exact compound formulation to distinguish from synthetic rubber primaries excluded by chapter notes
• Watch for EU REACH compliance if sourcing from Europe; pitfall is incomplete chemical safety data sheets
