Import Tips

Verify reinforcement is metal-only via material certification to avoid misclassification under textile-reinforced codes

Obtain manufacturer's specs confirming no textile plies; common pitfall is overlooking hybrid constructions

Ensure compliance with conveyor safety standards (e.g

MSHA for mining) for U.S. entry documentation
