Import Tips & Compliance

Verify wire count exceeds 94 wires per linear cm in warp or fill via lab testing for accurate classification

Provide manufacturer specs confirming suitability for Fourdrinier papermaking to avoid reclassification as general machinery belts

Ensure stainless steel composition documentation to distinguish from carbon steel endless bands
