Import Tips
• Include manufacturing process affidavits proving seamless dipping method to distinguish from molded seamed products
• Test for vulcanization degree; overly rigid items may be deemed hard rubber and reclassified
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial parts; retail-ready packaging supports apparel classification
