U.S. exports of mechanically bonded glass fabrics, nesoi (HS 701969) totaled $9.6M in July 2026.
Importers of Mechanically Bonded Glass Fabrics, NESOI paid $728K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $4.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Mechanically Bonded Glass Fabrics, NESOI imports of $4.6M in July 2026 ran 18% above the year-to-date monthly average of $3.8M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMechanically bonded glass fabrics — where fiber layers are held together by needling, stitching, or similar physical processes rather than chemical binders — occupy a distinct classification from chemically bonded counterparts and are widely used in filtration, thermal insulation, and composite preforms. The nine US tariff lines (7019690000 through 7019699060) again split by color status and areal weight, with separate provisions for tire-cord constructions. China is the leading supplier, with Mexico and Latvia also significant sources. Chinese-origin goods in this heading may carry Section 301 exposure, a factor that has driven some sourcing toward European and North American alternatives.

The bonding method is the key classification criterion: mechanically bonded fabrics rely on physical interlocking of fibers (e.g., needle-punching or stitch-bonding), while chemically bonded fabrics use resin or other chemical binders to consolidate the structure. Customs may request technical documentation — such as a manufacturer's process description or lab analysis — to confirm the bonding method when the distinction is not apparent from visual inspection.
Yes. The US schedule carves out specific lines for mechanically bonded fiberglass tire-cord fabrics in both uncolored (7019693000) and colored (7019697000) forms, separate from the general woven glass fabric lines. Importers of tire-cord material should confirm whether their product meets the tire-cord specification to avoid misclassification into the broader NESOI lines.
