Chemically Bonded Fiberglass Open Weave Fabric from China
This is an open weave fabric made from chemically bonded glass fibers, used primarily in filtration and reinforcement applications. It falls under HTS 7019.73.90 as 'other' chemically bonded open fabrics of glass fibers, distinct from closed or non-open structures. The chemical bonding process holds the fibers together without weaving or knitting.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical bonding method and openness of weave via lab testing to confirm classification under 7019.73.90 and avoid reclassification to woven fabrics
• Provide detailed manufacturing specs and end-use documentation to CBP, as open structure is key for this subheading
