Import Tips
• Provide lab test reports confirming man-made fiber weight predominance over natural fibers in textile components
• Declare exact outside circumference measurement as customs may measure to confirm 60-150 cm range
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as conveyor belt (4010.10) which has different duty treatment
