HS Code 7019.61 – Glass fibres; mechanically bonded fabrics and closed woven fabrics of rovings
HS code 7019.61 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, mechanically bonded fabrics and closed woven fabrics of rovings. It is used for woven roving fabrics, unidirectional roving fabrics, biaxial woven rovings, triaxial woven rovings and quadraxial woven rovings.
What HS 7019.61 covers
This HS code covers glass fiber products that have been mechanically bonded or woven into closed fabrics, specifically utilizing rovings as the primary material. Rovings are bundles of continuous filaments, offering high strength and stiffness, making them ideal for structural applications. These fabrics are critical in manufacturing composites where high performance and durability are paramount. Industries such as marine (boat hulls), wind energy (turbine blades), and automotive (structural components) are major consumers. Countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities and a strong focus on renewable energy or high-performance vehicles tend to be the leading importers and exporters. Understanding the weave pattern, areal weight, and compatibility with various resin systems (e.g., epoxy, polyester) is crucial for trade, as these factors directly impact the final composite's properties and processing requirements.

Codes often confused with 7019.61
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 701963 or 701964, which cover woven fabrics of yarns rather than rovings, or 701962 which specifies non-woven mechanically bonded fabrics of rovings. The distinction lies in the material form (rovings vs. yarns) and the bonding method.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 701961, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 701961 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 40% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Mexico, with 9.2% 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).
