HS Code 7019.64 – Glass fibres; closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, coated or laminated, (other than rovings)
HS code 7019.64 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, coated or laminated, (other than rovings). It is used for PTFE coated glass fabric, silicone coated glass cloth, acrylic coated glass fabric, aluminum laminated glass fabric and fire-resistant glass fabric.
What HS 7019.64 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 7019.64
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 701964, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 701964 in UN Comtrade data was Japan, with 20% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 14% 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).
