Import Tips
• Verify belt dimensions and tooth profile match synchronous specs to avoid reclassification as V-belts under 3926.90.60.50
• Include material test reports confirming polyurethane construction and predominant monomer content per Chapter 39 notes
• Ensure FDA compliance if used in food machinery; common pitfall is missing tensile cord material declarations
