About HS Code 701973

This code encompasses a specialized segment of glass fibre products, specifically chemically bonded and open fabrics not elsewhere specified within heading 7019. These materials are crucial in various industrial applications where strength, lightweight properties, and chemical resistance are paramount. Importers typically include manufacturers in the construction, automotive, aerospace, and marine industries, who use these fabrics as reinforcement in composites, insulation, or filtration systems. Exporters are often specialized chemical and glass fibre producers, primarily from technologically advanced economies. Key aspects of trade involve understanding the specific chemical bonding agents used, the fabric's weave structure, and its intended end-use, as these factors significantly impact pricing and regulatory compliance. The global demand is driven by infrastructure development and the increasing adoption of lightweight materials in manufacturing.

Products Under This Code

Chemically bonded glass fibre mats, Open weave glass fibre scrims, Glass fibre veil for composites, Non-woven glass fibre fabrics, Glass fibre tissue for roofing, Glass fibre reinforcement for pipes

Real World Examples
