HS Code 7019.66 – Glass fibres; open woven fabrics of a width exceeding 30cm
HS code 7019.66 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, open woven fabrics of a width exceeding 30cm. It is used for wide glass fiber mesh, open weave glass scrim, glass fiber filter cloth, wall reinforcement mesh and plaster reinforcement fabric.
What HS 7019.66 covers
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.

Codes often confused with 7019.66
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 701966, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 701966 in UN Comtrade data was Czechia, with 23% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 15% 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).
