Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Document vulcanization process to confirm it's not prevulcanized latex under primary forms (4001-4005)

β€’ Avoid common error of classifying with office supplies sets, which could invoke GRI 3(b) for mixed materials

β€’ Ensure no electrical components, as those shift to Section XVI per Chapter exclusions
