Import Tips
• Include detailed material breakdown certificates showing polyester > other fibers to support classification
• Measure and document belt width precisely, as under 20 cm moves to different subheading
• Avoid bundling with metal reinforcements, which could reclassify as machinery parts under Chapter 84
