Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of fiber analysis to prove man-made predominance, as required for this subheading
• Measure and document belt width accurately; exceeding 20 cm is key for this classification
• Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from Chapter 59 textile-impregnated belts via material priority
