Import Tips
• Document vulcanization process to confirm it's not prevulcanized latex under primary forms (4001-4005)
• Avoid common error of classifying with office supplies sets, which could invoke GRI 3(b) for mixed materials
• Ensure no electrical components, as those shift to Section XVI per Chapter exclusions
