Import Tips
• Maintain chain of custody documentation proving tire end-use; customs may require affidavits for statistical suffix 622
• Avoid over-impregnation; excessive latex coating could trigger textile Chapter 59 classification
• Test for electrical nonconductivity per ASTM standards to distinguish from metallic-reinforced fabrics
