HS Code 7019.63 – Glass fibres; mechanically bonded fabrics and closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, not coated or laminated (other than rovings)
HS code 7019.63 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, mechanically bonded fabrics and closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, not coated or laminated (other than rovings). It is used for plain weave glass fabrics, E-glass plain weave cloth, S-glass plain weave fabric, fine glass fiber cloth and electrical grade glass fabric.
What HS 7019.63 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 7019.63
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 701963, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 701963 in UN Comtrade data was Taiwan, with about 35% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was China, with 31% 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 marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).

What products fall under HS code 701963?
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
What are common misclassifications for HS code 701963?
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of goods under HS code 701963?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS code 701963 in UN Comtrade data were Taiwan (about $320M, 35% of world exports), China ($206M) and Japan ($182M).
