Import Tips
• 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
