HS Code for Wide fiberglass fabric

Wide fiberglass fabric is classified under HS code 7019.66. This code is situated within Chapter 70, which governs glass and glassware. Heading 7019 is dedicated to glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles made from these fibers, such as yarns and fabrics. The specific subheading 7019.66 is designated for open woven fabrics that possess a width exceeding 30 centimeters. The classification criteria for this code are based on the material composition (glass fiber), the construction method (open woven), and the physical dimension (width). Open woven fabrics are characterized by a structure where the interstices between the warp and weft yarns are significantly larger than the diameter of the yarns themselves, often used in industrial applications for reinforcement, filtration, or as a substrate for coatings. The width requirement of over 30cm is a critical threshold in the Harmonized System for distinguishing between industrial-scale rolls and narrow tapes or ribbons.

Products Included

• Fiberglass mesh for construction reinforcement
• Open-weave glass fiber scrims
• Wide fiberglass filtration fabrics
• Glass fiber reinforcement mats (woven)
• Industrial glass fiber fabrics exceeding 30cm width

Common Misclassification

This product is often misclassified under HS code 7019.61, which is reserved for open woven fabrics with a width of 30cm or less. Another common error is using HS code 7019.69, which covers other woven fabrics that do not meet the "open woven" definition. Furthermore, if the fiberglass fabric is heavily impregnated or coated with plastics to the point where the glass fiber is no longer the essential character, it might be misclassified under Chapter 39 (Plastics) or HS code 5903 (textile fabrics impregnated/coated), though 7019 remains the primary heading for glass fiber products.

FAQ

What is the HS code for wide fiberglass fabric?

The HS code for open woven fiberglass fabrics with a width exceeding 30cm is 7019.66.

What defines an "open woven" fabric in this context?

An open woven fabric generally refers to a mesh-like structure where the gaps between the glass fiber threads are clearly visible and larger than the threads themselves, typically used for structural reinforcement.
