Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certifications for natural vs synthetic latex to distinguish from Chapter 40 raw rubber articles
• Ensure invoice details cellular structure (e.g
• Dunlop or Talalay process) to avoid misclassification as general rubber products
• Comply with VOC emission standards for foam; test reports prevent customs holds
