Import Tips
• Specify rubber thread denier and % in docs; distinguishes from pure elastomeric under same heading
• Medical end-use? Still tariffed by composition—don't claim 'device' status without FDA clearance
• Inspect for metal thread; if apparel-use qualifies, note Chapter 60 inclusion but still elastomeric primary
