Import Tips
• Include FDA compliance docs if for food contact, as rubber compounds must meet safety standards
• Document weave type and fiber weight to prove man-made predominance; mislabeling leads to audits
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics sheets under 4008; ship as belting to prevent reclassification
