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
