Import Tips
• Verify exact outside circumference measurement (60-180 cm) and textile combination to confirm 4010.32.30.00 classification; measure per HTS definitions
• Provide manufacturer specs showing vulcanized rubber base with textile ply reinforcement to avoid misclassification as pure rubber belts
• Ensure documentation includes cross-sectional diagrams proving trapezoidal (V) shape and non-ribbed design
