Industrial Filter Net Fabric
Industrial Filter Net Fabric is a polyester net with a textile base, used for non-apparel filtration applications. It is classified under tariff item 5804.10.00 as a tulle or other net fabric because it is a machine-made net, not woven or knitted. Despite its industrial use, the fabric's construction as a net keeps it within this heading, provided it is not made up into filter elements.
