HS code for Non-woven fiberglass fabric: 7019.62
Glass fibres, non-woven mechanically bonded fabrics and closed fabrics of rovings.
Classification of non-woven fiberglass fabric under HS 7019.62
Non-woven fiberglass fabric is classified under HS code 7019.62, which specifically addresses glass fibers and articles made from them, focusing on mechanically bonded non-woven fabrics. This classification is determined by the material composition (glass) and the manufacturing process (non-woven and mechanically bonded). Unlike woven fabrics where yarns are interlaced, non-woven fiberglass involves fibers being bonded through mechanical means such as needling or stitching, or through chemical or thermal processes, though 7019.62 emphasizes the mechanical aspect. The Harmonized System organizes glass products in Chapter 70, and heading 7019 is the primary location for glass fibers, including glass wool. The subheading 7019.62 is essential for distinguishing these materials from woven rovings or chemically bonded mats, ensuring that customs duties and trade statistics accurately reflect the technical properties of the fabric. The classification relies on the General Interpretative Rules (GIR), specifically Rule 1 and Rule 6, which direct the user to the specific heading and subheading based on the material's physical characteristics and the way the fibers are held together.

Codes often confused with 7019.62
Common mistake. This product is frequently confused with HS code 7019.61, which covers closed fabrics of rovings, and HS code 7019.69, which acts as a residual category for other glass fabrics. The primary distinction lies in the "non-woven" nature; if the fabric is woven, it must move to 7019.61 or 7019.66. Additionally, importers sometimes mistakenly use HS code 5603, which covers non-wovens of other textile fibers. However, because the material is glass, Chapter 70 takes precedence over Chapter 56.
Top exporters and importers of HS 701962 (the code used for non-woven fiberglass fabric), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 701962 (the code used for non-woven fiberglass fabric) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 19% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Denmark, with 10% of world imports.

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).
