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
