HS Code for Fiberglass fabric
Fiberglass fabric is classified under HS code 7019.69, which falls within Chapter 70 for glass and glassware. Heading 7019 is dedicated to glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles made from these fibers. The structure of heading 7019 was significantly updated in recent HS versions to better categorize the diverse range of glass fiber products. Subheadings 7019.61 through 7019.69 specifically cover woven fabrics. Subheading 7019.61 is for closed woven fabrics of rovings, and other subheadings cover specific widths or treatments. Subheading 7019.69 is the residual category for woven fiberglass fabrics that do not meet the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings, such as those made from yarns rather than rovings, or those with unique weave patterns or coatings not specified elsewhere. These fabrics are essential in industrial applications for reinforcement, insulation, and fire protection. The classification process involves determining whether the material is woven, the type of glass fiber used (e.g., E-glass or S-glass), and the specific form (yarn vs. roving). Proper classification ensures that these technical textiles are distinguished from non-woven glass mats or glass wool insulation.

Common Misclassification
Fiberglass fabric is often misclassified under 7019.61 if it is woven from rovings, or under 7019.19 if it is mistaken for a non-woven product. It is also sometimes confused with 7019.66, which is specifically for chemically bonded fabrics. Woven fabrics must be distinguished from mats (7019.14/15).
