Overview
This HTS category, 7314.14.30.00, specifically covers woven cloth of iron or steel wire that has a very fine mesh. The defining characteristic is its high wire density: it must contain 94 or more wires to the lineal centimeter. This implies a tightly woven structure, designed for applications requiring a fine filtration or screening capability. Such products are typically made from stainless steel, aligning with the parent category's scope.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7314.14.60.00, which is designated for "Other" woven cloth. While both fall under the umbrella of woven cloth of stainless steel and are not characterized by a mesh finer than 36 wires to the lineal centimeter, this specific classification is reserved solely for those items meeting the stringent 94+ wires per lineal centimeter requirement. The "Other" category would encompass woven cloths that do not meet this specific, high-density criterion.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7314.14.30.00 is definitive for woven iron or steel wire cloth that meets the specified wire count. Examples of such articles would be specialized screening materials or very fine mesh fabrics intended for industrial processes where precise particle separation is crucial. The classification hinges on the physical measurement of the wire density in the fabric.
