Import Tips
• Submit lab analysis proving hard rubber composition (e.g
• ebonite) to prevent misclassification as plastic
• Document unit value per gross accurately; bulk shipments require detailed invoices to confirm threshold
• Avoid retail packaging that suggests toy use, as Chapter 95 exclusions apply to play combs
