About HS Code 701963
This HS code covers mechanically bonded, closed woven fabrics made from glass fiber yarns, specifically those with a plain weave structure and that are neither coated nor laminated. Unlike rovings, yarns are typically finer and offer a smoother surface finish, making these fabrics suitable for applications where aesthetics or thinner laminates are important. They are widely used in electronics (printed circuit boards), aerospace (lightweight components), and sporting goods (surfboards, kayaks). Countries with advanced electronics manufacturing and high-tech industries are significant importers and exporters. Key considerations for trade include the yarn count, weave density, and the absence of coatings or laminations, which impacts their compatibility with various resin systems and their electrical properties. The plain weave provides balanced strength in both warp and weft directions, making them versatile for many composite applications.
Products Under This Code
Plain weave glass fabrics, E-glass plain weave cloth, S-glass plain weave fabric, Fine glass fiber cloth, Electrical grade glass fabric, Thin woven glass fabrics
Real World Examples
Isola 106 Glass Fabric, Panasonic R-1566 Glass Fabric, Jushi Plain Weave Cloth, Owens Corning 7628 Glass Fabric, Saint-Gobain Vetrotex Plain Weave
Common Misclassification
This code is distinct from 701961 because it uses yarns, not rovings, and from 701964 because it is not coated or laminated. It can also be confused with 701965 or 701966 if the "closed woven" and "plain weave" specifications are not carefully observed.
Products Classified Under 7019.63
Industry
This code belongs to the Automotive & Vehicles industry.
Trade Overview
Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are major players in the trade of these specialized glass fiber fabrics, particularly for electronics and high-tech applications.
