Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If weighing under 650 g/m²
Lighter felts for papermaking machines fall under the subheading for weights below 650 g/m².
If not endless or without linking devices
General textile products for technical uses outside specific papermaking felts go to the residual provision.
If sold as unfinished felt material
Non-endless, non-fitted felts resemble basic needleloom felts of man-made fibers, not technical papermaking products.
