HS-4 7019: Glass fibres (including glass wool) and articles thereof (e.g. yarn, rovings, woven fabrics)

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7019 when importing glass fibres, including products like glass wool or woven fabrics. For instance, if you're bringing in chopped glass strands for insulation, this heading applies. Understanding the specific subheading is crucial for compliance and accurate duty assessment.

Choosing the correct HS-6 line under 7019 depends on the product form. For example, if you're dealing with rovings, select 701912. If your product is a chemically bonded mat, then 701915 is appropriate. Each subheading has distinct specifications that impact classification and tariff rates.
