Heading 7019Glass fibres (including glass wool) and articles thereof (e.g. yarn, rovings, woven fabrics)

Chapter 70: Glass and glassware

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 701913 when importing or exporting glass fibres, including products like glass wool and yarns. For example, if you are shipping rolls of glass fibre yarn used in composite materials, this code applies.

This code specifically covers glass fibres and slivers, which are often used in insulation, reinforcement, and various industrial applications. It differs from HS-6 701914, which pertains to woven fabrics made from these fibres.

When considering HS-6 701913, note that it includes both raw glass fibres and processed forms like yarn. If your product is a finished woven fabric made from glass fibres, you would classify it under HS-6 701914 instead.

Understanding the distinction between these codes is crucial for accurate customs declarations. Ensure your product description clearly states whether you are dealing with raw fibres or finished yarns.
