About HS Code 701965

This HS code covers open woven fabrics made from glass fibers, specifically those with a narrow width not exceeding 30 centimeters. "Open woven" implies a less dense weave, often allowing for better resin penetration or flexibility. These narrow fabrics are highly specialized and are frequently used for reinforcing edges, seams, or small, intricate components in composite structures. Applications include aerospace (edge reinforcement), marine (taping seams), sporting goods (ski edges, fishing rods), and electrical insulation (tapes). Countries with precision manufacturing and high-tech composite industries are the primary importers and exporters. Key trade considerations include the weave type (e.g., plain, twill, satin), the specific width, and the compatibility with various resin systems, as these factors determine their suitability for critical, localized reinforcement tasks.

Products Under This Code

Narrow glass fiber tapes, Woven glass fiber strips, Glass fiber webbing, Electrical insulation glass tapes, Composite reinforcement tapes, Seam reinforcement tapes, Edge binding tapes

Real World Examples

FibaTape, 3M Glass Cloth Electrical Tape, Tesa Glass Fibre Tape, SGL Carbon Glass Fiber Tapes, Hexcel Narrow Fabrics

Common Misclassification

This code is distinguished from 701966 solely by its width; 701966 covers open woven fabrics exceeding 30cm. It can also be confused with general textile tapes if the "glass fiber" material is not clearly specified.
