Import Tips
• Submit cross-section analysis proving textile visibility per Chapter 59 notes, avoiding plastics dominance
• Track country-of-origin for man-made fibers; synthetic blends may trigger additional fiber content rules
• Package as individual belts, not spools, to affirm finished transmission product status
