Product classification
HS code for Wide fiberglass fabric: 7019.66
Glass fibres, open woven fabrics of a width exceeding 30cm.
Classification of wide fiberglass fabric under HS 7019.66
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.

Codes often confused with 7019.66
Common mistake. 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.

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).
