Emery Cloth Sanding Sheets from Japan
Flexible sanding sheets made with aluminum oxide abrasive grains adhered to a woven cotton textile fabric base, typically in rectangular shapes for hand sanding. They fall under HTS 6805.10.00.00 because they consist solely of abrasive powder on a woven textile fabric base, without paper or other materials. Commonly used for smoothing wood, metal, and painted surfaces.
