Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify the weight and composition to confirm man-made fibers exceed 50% and distinguish from rubberized types in 5906

β€’ Provide documentation on plastic coating visibility and metal reinforcement if present to avoid reclassification

β€’ Ensure FDA compliance for food-contact belts, including certificates of conformity for hygienic coatings
