U.S. imports of closed glass fabrics, chemically bonded, nesoi (HS 701972) totaled $918K in April 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Importers of Closed Glass Fabrics, Chemically Bonded, NESOI paid $133K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $803K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Closed Glass Fabrics, Chemically Bonded, NESOI imports of $918K in April 2026 ran 27% above the year-to-date monthly average of $725K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataChemically bonded closed-weave glass fabrics — where a resin or chemical binder consolidates a tightly woven glass fiber structure — serve demanding applications in electrical insulation, aerospace composites, and high-silica thermal protection. The US schedule distinguishes tire-cord constructions, narrow fabrics (≤30 cm), and wider goods by color status, with separate lines for high-silica (>93% SiO₂) and standard-silica variants (7019720000 through 7019729060). Germany leads US supply, with Costa Rica and China also significant sources. High-silica variants used in aerospace or defense applications may be subject to additional export-control or end-use documentation requirements at origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Fabrics woven from high-silica filaments (greater than 93% SiO₂) have distinct thermal and chemical resistance properties that command different commercial values and, in some cases, different duty rates. The US schedule therefore maintains separate 10-digit lines — such as 7019724060 and 7019729030/7019729060 — for high-silica versus standard-silica constructions, requiring importers to document the silica content of the fiber used.
CBP may request a manufacturer's technical data sheet or process description confirming that a chemical binder (resin, starch, or similar agent) — rather than mechanical interlocking — consolidates the fabric structure. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable when the bonding method is not clearly stated on commercial documentation, particularly for high-value aerospace or electrical-grade materials.
