Import Tips
• Verify the apron is made solely of vulcanized rubber (not hard rubber or textile-impregnated) to qualify under Chapter 40; provide material test certificates
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'vulcanized rubber apron' and end-use (e.g
• industrial protection) to prevent reclassification
