CHAPTER

59 — Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics

In plain English

This category includes textile belts used for transmitting power or conveying materials, regardless of whether they have been treated with plastics or strengthened with metal or other substances. The classification system groups all such items under a single entry without further subdivision. Consequently, there are no distinct subcategories to differentiate between specific types of these textile belts.
