HS Code 7019.65 – Glass fibres; open woven fabrics of a width not exceeding 30cm
HS code 7019.65 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, open woven fabrics of a width not exceeding 30cm. It is used for narrow glass fiber tapes, woven glass fiber strips, glass fiber webbing, electrical insulation glass tapes and composite reinforcement tapes.
What HS 7019.65 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 7019.65
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 701965, 2025

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).
