Import Tips
• For lab/medical end-use, prepare biocompatibility certificates even if not regulated devices to preempt CBP questions
• Specify exact durometer hardness; soft natural rubber distinguishes from hard rubber exclusions
• Avoid pharma packaging presentation which could invoke Chapter 30 medicinal classification
