Import Tips
• 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
