HS Code for Plain weave fiberglass fabric

Plain weave fiberglass fabric is classified under HS code 7019.63. This classification is part of the significant 2022 restructuring of heading 7019, which covers glass fibers and articles thereof. Subheading 7019.63 specifically addresses woven fabrics of yarns that are not coated or laminated and are constructed using a plain weave pattern. In a plain weave, the warp and weft yarns cross each other at right angles in a simple over-under pattern, providing high dimensional stability and porosity. To qualify for this code, the fabric must be made of glass fiber yarns rather than rovings (which are classified under 7019.61). The classification is strictly based on the material composition (glass), the manufacturing method (woven), the specific weave type (plain), and the absence of secondary treatments like lamination or heavy coatings. These fabrics are essential in composite reinforcements, filtration, and thermal insulation applications due to their high tensile strength and resistance to heat.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

This product is often misclassified under 7019.61 if the fabric is made of rovings instead of yarns. It is also frequently confused with 7019.69, which covers other woven fabrics, including those with complex weaves (like twill or satin) or those that have been coated or laminated. If the fiberglass fabric is impregnated with resin or bonded to a plastic film, it must be moved to 7019.69 or 7019.90 depending on the degree of processing. Furthermore, if the fabric is made of glass wool rather than continuous fibers, different subheadings apply.
