Import Tips
• Document specific paper grade applications (tissue vs. board) as it influences acceptable wire density variations
• Conduct metallurgical analysis to confirm stainless steel grade suitable for corrosive pulp environments
• Avoid bundling with machine components to prevent parts classification under Chapter 84
