Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not endless band for machinery
Woven stainless steel cloth without endless band configuration for machinery falls under general other woven cloth category.
If imported as complete part of papermaking machine
If supplied as an assembled component of a papermaking machine rather than bulk wire cloth, it classifies as a machinery part.
If meshes 36 wires or coarser
Finer mesh requirement not met; coarser endless bands for machinery go to the 36+ wires category.
