Seamed Fourdrinier Wire Cloth for Papermaking from Japan

A seamed endless band made from fine copper wire mesh with 100 wires per lineal centimeter, designed specifically for Fourdrinier papermaking machines to form continuous paper webs. It falls under HTS 7419.80.03.00 due to its high wire density (94+ wires/cm) and suitability for pulp dewatering in paper production. The copper construction provides corrosion resistance in wet papermaking environments.

Import Tips

• Verify wire density exceeds 94 wires per lineal cm via manufacturer specs and provide lab test reports if requested by CBP

• Include end-use certification confirming suitability for Fourdrinier papermaking machines to avoid misclassification as general copper netting

• Ensure documentation specifies copper alloy composition per Chapter 74 notes to prevent disputes over base metal purity
