Import Tips
• Verify textile fiber content via lab testing to confirm man-made fibers like polyester predominate by weight over any other fiber
• Provide manufacturer specs showing vulcanized rubber construction and transmission belting function to avoid misclassification as conveyor belts
• Include HS declaration with weight breakdown of rubber vs. textile components to prevent valuation disputes
