HS Code 7019.14 – Glass fibres; (including glass wool), mechanically bonded mats
HS code 7019.14 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, (including glass wool), mechanically bonded mats. It is used for chopped strand mat (mechanically bonded), continuous filament mat (mechanically bonded), needle mat, stitched mat and surface veil (mechanically bonded).
What HS 7019.14 covers
This category specifically covers glass fibers, including glass wool, formed into mechanically bonded mats. These mats are non-woven structures where individual glass fibers are held together by mechanical means, such as needling or stitching, rather than chemical binders. They are highly valued for their excellent drapability, conformability, and ease of impregnation with resins, making them ideal for hand lay-up and open mold composite processes. These mats provide reinforcement and structural integrity to a wide range of composite products. Importers are primarily manufacturers of fiberglass products like boat hulls, automotive body parts, sanitary ware, and general composite structures. Exporters are specialized glass fiber mat producers. Key factors for trade include mat weight (gsm), fiber type, and the consistency of the mechanical bonding, which ensures structural integrity and ease of handling during processing.

Codes often confused with 7019.14
Common mistake. Often confused with 701915 (chemically bonded mats) if the bonding method is not specified, which is a critical distinction for processing and end-use. Also, 6815 (articles of stone or other mineral substances) if the mat is combined with other mineral fibers.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 701914, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 701914 in UN Comtrade data was France, with 16% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 12% of world imports.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
