Carbon Fiber Reinforced Glass Fabric Veil from China
A lightweight open woven glass fiber fabric veil, mechanically bonded and reinforced with carbon fibers, used as a surfacing layer in composite laminates. It falls under HTS 7019.65.90.90 as an open woven fabric of glass fibers with width not exceeding 30 cm, classified as 'other' mechanically bonded fabrics. The mechanical bonding distinguishes it from chemically bonded nonwovens.

Import Tips
• Verify width measurement does not exceed 30 cm and confirm mechanical bonding process via manufacturer specs to avoid reclassification; provide lab tests proving glass fiber composition; declare exact end-use to prevent misclassification as finished composites
