Product classification
HS code for Laminated fiberglass fabric: 7019.64
Glass fibres, closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, coated or laminated, (other than rovings).
Classification of laminated fiberglass fabric under HS 7019.64
Laminated 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. This classification is determined by the material composition and the specific manufacturing process as outlined in Chapter 70 of the Harmonized System. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), products are classified based on their constituent materials and the state in which they are presented. Heading 7019 is dedicated to glass fibers and articles thereof, and subheading 7019.64 is designated for fabrics where the glass fiber provides the essential character. The lamination process involves bonding the fiberglass fabric with another layer, such as a plastic film or metallic foil, to enhance properties like moisture resistance or thermal insulation. Because the primary character of the product is provided by the glass fiber weave, it remains in Chapter 70 rather than being classified as a plastic product in Chapter 39, provided the glass fiber remains the predominant component by weight and function.

Codes often confused with 7019.64
Common mistake. Laminated fiberglass is frequently confused with HS code 7019.61, which is reserved for fabrics made specifically from rovings rather than yarns. It may also be misclassified under 7019.69 if the weave is not a plain weave, such as twill or satin weaves. Furthermore, if the plastic lamination is so thick that the product takes on the character of a plastic sheet reinforced with glass, it might be incorrectly moved to 3921.90. Importers must also distinguish it from 7019.63, which covers open-weave fabrics used for reinforcement.

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).
