Import Tips

Label with exact pitch (e.g

HTD or RPP) and confirm man-made fiber cord via lab test if challenged

Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as fabric rolls; declare as finished belts to prevent Chapter 59 fabric headings

Include OEM specs showing synchronization use, distinguishing from flat conveyor belting
