A non-woven, chemically bonded fabric made from colored glass fibers, used as reinforcement in asphalt shingles and roofing membranes. It falls under HTS 7019.72.90.60 as 'other colored chemically bonded closed glass fiber fabrics' due to its closed structure and coloring for specific roofing applications. This mat provides tensile strength and dimensional stability to roofing materials.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical bonding process documentation to distinguish from mechanically bonded mats under 7019.71
• Include test reports confirming glass fiber composition and coloring to avoid misclassification as plastic-coated fabrics
• Check for 'closed fabric' structure via microscopy to comply with subheading requirements
