This is a closed woven plain weave glass fiber fabric coated with epoxy resin and laminated, colored black for aerospace applications. It falls under HTS 7019.64.90 as a mechanically bonded fabric of glass fiber yarns that is coated, colored, and classified as 'other' non-lead crystal type. The coating provides structural integrity for composite layups in aircraft components.

Import Tips

• Verify the fabric meets the plain weave and mechanical bonding criteria with lab testing to avoid reclassification to woven fabrics under 7019.59

• Provide detailed coating composition documentation as 'laminated' affects duty rates; common pitfall is misdeclaring resin type

• Ensure color is integral to the fiber or coating, not surface-printed, to qualify under 'colored' subheading
