More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the cloth is woven with a mesh size not exceeding 36 wires per centimetre
This heading covers other woven cloth of stainless steel, which may apply if the wire density is lower than the threshold for endless bands.
If the cloth is cut to shape and not in endless form
Articles of iron or steel wire, such as cut pieces, fall under this heading when they are not endless bands for machinery.
If the cloth is a part of a filtering or purifying machine
Parts of filtering machinery are classified in Chapter 84, as Section XV excludes articles of Section XVI.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the cloth is classified as an endless band for machinery, not as a general woven cloth, to avoid reclassification
• Provide technical specifications, such as wire count per centimetre, to the CBSA to support the tariff classification
• Verify whether the goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement, as this may reduce the duty rate
