Import Tips
• Verify rubber composition meets Chapter 40 definitions (e.g
• vulcanized natural or synthetic rubber) to avoid reclassification to Chapter 39 plastics
• Include detailed specs like valve type (e.g
• TR4) and size (e.g
• 205/55R16) in commercial invoice for accurate statistical reporting
