Product classification
HS code for Woven fiberglass fabric: 7019.61
Glass fibres, mechanically bonded fabrics and closed woven fabrics of rovings.
Classification of woven fiberglass fabric under HS 7019.61
Woven fiberglass fabric is classified under HS code 701961, which falls within Chapter 70 for glass and glassware. This classification is determined by the material composition and the specific form of the glass fibers. Heading 7019 covers glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles thereof. Subheading 701961 specifically addresses closed woven fabrics of rovings. Rovings are a collection of parallel filaments or strands of glass fiber. The classification is driven by Section XI Note 1(s), which explicitly excludes glass fibers and articles of glass fibers from the textile chapters (Chapters 50-63). Therefore, even though the product is a 'woven fabric,' it must be classified in Chapter 70. The 'closed woven' designation refers to the density of the weave, distinguishing it from open-mesh fabrics or mats. This code is applied to fabrics used in industrial applications, reinforcement, and insulation where the structural integrity of the glass roving is maintained.

Codes often confused with 7019.61
Common mistake. This product is often misclassified under HS code 701962, which covers other closed woven fabrics that are not made of rovings, or 701969, which is a residual category for other glass fabrics. It is also occasionally confused with textile fabrics in Chapter 54 or 55; however, the material composition of glass filaments mandates classification in Chapter 70 regardless of the weaving style.

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).
