HS-6 · Subheading
701914
Glass fibres; (including glass wool), mechanically bonded mats
Heading 7019 — Glass fibres (including glass wool) and articles thereof (e.g. yarn, rovings, woven fabrics)
Chapter 70: Glass and glassware
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 701914 when importing or exporting mechanically bonded mats made from glass fibres, such as insulation materials used in construction. For example, a shipment of glass wool mats for thermal insulation would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers glass fibres that are bonded mechanically, distinguishing them from other types of glass products. For instance, if you're dealing with woven glass fabrics or yarns, you would look at different HS-6 codes under the same heading.
In contrast, HS-6 701915 covers glass fibres that are chemically bonded, which may be used in different applications such as composites. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate classification and compliance.
When classifying products, consider the form and intended use. Mats made from glass fibres are often used for insulation, while other forms like rovings or yarns serve different purposes in manufacturing.
