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
