E-Glass Mechanically Bonded Nonwoven Fabric from China
This is a nonwoven fabric made from E-glass fibers mechanically bonded without coloring, used primarily in composite reinforcement for automotive parts. It falls under HTS 7019.69.40 as 'other' mechanically bonded fabrics of glass fibers that are not colored. The mechanical bonding process, such as needle-punching, distinguishes it from chemically bonded or woven variants.

Import Tips
• Verify mechanical bonding method (e.g
• needle-punching) via manufacturer specs to avoid misclassification as woven fabrics under 7019.59
• Provide lab test reports confirming fibers are uncolored and meet glass fiber composition per Chapter 70 notes
