5910.00.10Higher: 39% vs 38.8%

If composed of parallel yarns agglomerated with rubber

Fits heading 5910 for transmission belts with parallel textile yarns in rubber, differing from coated woven fabrics.

5906.91Lower: 12.7% vs 38.8%

If for general rubberized knotted netting fabrics, not specific technical use

Chapter note for 5906 covers rubberized textiles over 1500 g/m² with >50% textile if not qualifying under 5911's technical note 8.

4010Lower: 13.3% vs 38.8%

If textile is present merely for reinforcing cellular rubber conveyor belts

Chapter 40 applies per exclusion notes if fabric reinforces rather than forms the primary technical surface.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the rubber coating is visible to the naked eye and provide machinery end-use documentation to confirm technical classification under note 8

Include test reports on weight per m² and material composition to avoid reclassification to chapter 40 if textile is merely reinforcing

Ensure invoices specify 'for card clothing' to prevent customs disputes on technical use
