HS Code 7019.73 – Glass fibres; chemically bonded fabrics, open fabrics n.e.c. in heading 7019
HS code 7019.73 is the 6-digit subheading for glass fibres, chemically bonded fabrics, open fabrics n.e.c. in heading 7019. It is used for chemically bonded glass fibre mats, open weave glass fibre scrims, glass fibre veil for composites, non-woven glass fibre fabrics and glass fibre tissue for roofing.
What HS 7019.73 covers
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.

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).
