Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
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.
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.
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
