Import Tips & Compliance

Differentiate silicone as plastic vs rubber via chemical analysis if disputed; reference 5903 plastics scope

Test weight and textile % for potential 5906 overlap if >1500g/m² and >50% textile

Avoid selling as 'set' with plastics to prevent chapter 39 parts classification
