About HS Code 701964
This category includes closed woven fabrics of glass fiber yarns, specifically those with a plain weave, that have been further processed by coating or lamination. The coating or lamination provides enhanced properties such as improved adhesion to resins, flame retardancy, UV resistance, or electrical insulation. These advanced fabrics are critical in demanding applications where standard glass fabrics are insufficient. Key sectors include construction (architectural membranes, roofing), industrial insulation, fire protection, and specialized electronics. Countries with strong chemical processing and advanced manufacturing capabilities are typically the main importers and exporters. When trading these goods, it's essential to understand the type of coating or laminate (e.g., PTFE, silicone, acrylic, aluminum foil), its thickness, and its impact on the fabric's performance characteristics, as these factors significantly influence the product's value and suitability for specific end-uses.

Common Misclassification
This code is differentiated from 701963 by the presence of a coating or lamination. It can also be confused with 701969 if the "plain weave" and "closed woven" aspects are not strictly adhered to, as 701969 is a general "fabrics n.e.c." category.
Products Classified Under 7019.64
Industry
