Import Tips

• Verify natural rubber content via lab testing to confirm classification under the 'of natural rubber' subheading; synthetic blends shift to 4016.99.6050

• Provide manufacturer specs showing vulcanization process and absence of hard rubber traits like high Shore hardness

• Avoid misclassification as Chapter 39 plastic profiles by documenting rubber's essential vulcanized properties
