Import Tips
• Include engineering specs showing dryer section compatibility and weight certification above 650 g/m²
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as conveyor belting (5910) by emphasizing papermaking-specific design
• Request FDA-compliant material declarations if used in food-grade paper production
