Import Tips
• Document textile content percentage (> certain threshold implies combination); test samples if disputed to prove rubber essential character
• Use HTS advisory rulings for custom lengths; declare actual dimensions to differentiate from rods/profile shapes (4008)
• Avoid reclassification as Chapter 59 by emphasizing vulcanized rubber as base material per Chapter notes excluding mere textile coverings
