Import Tips

Submit fiber composition analysis proving C-glass (silica-based) meets fused silica/glass definition in Chapter Note

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'felt'—specify mechanical bonding to stay in 7019 vs. 5602 textile felts

For sets with resins, declare components separately to prevent classification as composite articles elsewhere
