Stainless Steel 20 Mesh Filter Cloth from Mexico
Woven stainless steel wire cloth with 20 wires per linear centimeter in both warp and filling directions, designed for industrial filtration. This mesh size falls under HTS 7314.14.20.00 due to its finer-than-12 but not finer-than-36 wire density in stainless steel construction. Commonly used in chemical processing and laboratory sieving applications.

Import Tips
• Verify exact mesh count via certified lab test to confirm classification under 7314.14.20.00; finer meshes shift to other subheadings
• Provide mill test certificate proving stainless steel composition (e.g
• 304 or 316 grade) to avoid reclassification
• Declare wire diameter and weave type (plain Dutch or twill) in entry docs to prevent undervaluation penalties
