Import Tips

• Verify the textile material composition and rubber vulcanization to confirm classification under 4010; provide lab test reports if challenged

• Ensure documentation shows combined construction, as pure rubber belts fall under 4010.39.00

• Avoid misdeclaration as machinery parts (8483) by specifying belting use
