About HS Code 701966

This category encompasses open woven fabrics made from glass fibers, characterized by a width exceeding 30 centimeters. The "open woven" structure, often a mesh or scrim, allows for excellent resin flow and conformability, making these fabrics ideal for applications where breathability, lightweight reinforcement, or specific filtration properties are required. They are extensively used in construction (wall reinforcement, plaster mesh), filtration (air and liquid filters), and as core materials in some composite laminates. Major importers and exporters are typically countries with large construction sectors or advanced filtration industries. Key aspects for trade include the mesh size, weave pattern, and any surface treatments, as these dictate the fabric's permeability, strength, and compatibility with bonding agents or resins. Their broad width makes them suitable for covering larger areas efficiently.

Common Misclassification

This code is differentiated from 701965 by its width, as 701965 covers open woven fabrics not exceeding 30cm. It can also be confused with non-glass fiber meshes if the material composition is not strictly verified.
