Import Tips
• Verify the belt is explicitly combined with textiles via impregnation, coating, or lamination to qualify under this subheading; pure rubber belts go to 4010.39.10
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming vulcanized rubber base and textile integration, plus end-use documentation to avoid misclassification as Chapter 59 textile articles
