Product classification
HS code for Coated fiberglass fabric: 7019.64
Glass fibres, closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, coated or laminated, (other than rovings).
Classification of coated fiberglass fabric under HS 7019.64
Coated fiberglass fabric is classified under HS code 7019.64, which specifically covers closed woven fabrics of glass fibers, plain weave, that have been coated or laminated. The classification is determined by the base material (glass fibers) and the construction method (woven). Because the fabric undergoes a secondary process of coating—often with silicone, PTFE, or PVC—to enhance its thermal resistance or durability, it falls under this specific subheading. Unlike raw glass fibers or rovings, these are finished textile products used in industrial applications like welding blankets or expansion joints. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) dictate that products made of glass fibers remain in Chapter 70, even when coated, provided the glass fiber gives the product its essential character.

Codes often confused with 7019.64
Common mistake. This product is frequently misclassified under HS code 5903, which covers textile fabrics impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics. However, Note 1 to Chapter 59 excludes fabrics made of glass fibers, directing them instead to Chapter 70. Another common error is using 7019.61, which is reserved for rovings, or 7019.63, which covers closed woven fabrics of a weave other than plain weave. Importers must verify the weave pattern (plain vs. twill or satin) to distinguish between 7019.64 and 7019.69.

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).
