Import Tips

• Specify rubber elasticity and hair-end-use in commercial docs to prevent Chapter 40 general rubber goods shift

• Test for latex content if natural rubber to comply with FDA import alerts on allergens

• Package in bulk hanks, not retail packs with clips, to avoid set reclassification
