Import Tips
• Verify mesh density exceeds 36 wires/cm in warp or fill direction with lab testing to confirm classification
• Provide manufacturer specs proving suitability for Fourdrinier papermaking to avoid reclassification as generic mesh
• Ensure stainless steel composition documentation; alloy grades affect duty rates in some countries
