HS Code 7019.15 – Glass fibres; (including glass wool), chemically bonded mats
HS code 7019.15 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, (including glass wool), chemically bonded mats. It is used for chopped strand mat (emulsion binder), continuous filament mat (powder binder), surface veil (chemically bonded), woven roving mat (chemically bonded) and glass tissue.
What HS 7019.15 covers
This classification covers glass fibers, including glass wool, formed into chemically bonded mats. Unlike mechanically bonded mats, these non-woven structures utilize a chemical binder to hold the glass fibers together, offering specific properties like improved wet-out characteristics, dimensional stability, and compatibility with various resin systems. They are widely used as reinforcement in diverse composite applications, particularly where a smooth surface finish or specific resin interaction is required. Importers include manufacturers of composite panels, automotive interior parts, roofing materials, and electrical laminates, where these mats provide strength and stability. Exporters are specialized glass fiber mat producers with expertise in binder chemistry. Critical aspects for trade include the type and amount of chemical binder, mat weight (gsm), and the compatibility of the binder with different resin systems (e.g., polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy).

Codes often confused with 7019.15
Common mistake. Frequently confused with 701914 (mechanically bonded mats) if the specific bonding agent is not clearly identified, which is crucial for material selection in composite manufacturing. Also, 5603 (nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated) if the chemical bonding is extensive and the product resembles a textile nonwoven.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 701915, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 701915 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 39% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
