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
