Import Tips
• Include technical datasheets showing areal weight and fiber length to confirm 'mechanically bonded fabric' status
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'woven' which shifts to 7019.59; specify needle-punching explicitly
• Check for anti-dumping duties on certain glass fiber products from specific countries
