Import Tips
• Verify the belt's textile composition exceeds 50% man-made fibers by weight to confirm HTS 5910 classification; obtain mill test certificates
• Ensure documentation includes reinforcement details (e.g
• steel cords) but note they do not alter primary textile classification
• Avoid misclassification as rubber products by highlighting visible textile fabric per Chapter 59 notes
