Import Tips
• Verify belt width, pitch, and tooth profile match synchronous specs to avoid reclassification as V-belts
• Provide engineering specs and material composition certificates confirming man-made fibers exceed 50% by weight
• Ensure no metal reinforcement dominates; document textile base to prevent Chapter 84 shifts
