Import Tips & Compliance

Include engineering drawings showing textile cord embedding in rubber matrix to confirm combination per heading 4010 note on textile-covered rubber

Label with precise material composition (e.g

NR/SBR rubber with polyester textile) for CBP verification; avoid generic 'rubber belt' declarations
