Import Tips
• Verify reinforcement is solely textile (no metal cords) via material certificates to confirm 4010.12.90.00 classification
• Provide FDA compliance docs if for food contact; ensure belt meets sanitary standards to avoid holds
• Declare exact width/length; misdeclaration as 'other' subheadings can trigger audits
