Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 701919 when importing or exporting glass fibers, including products like glass wool and woven fabrics. For instance, if you're shipping rolls of glass fiber mats used in insulation, this code is applicable.
This code specifically covers glass fibers and articles made from them, excluding those that are mechanically or chemically bonded. If you're considering HS-6 701920, which pertains to bonded mats, be aware that it has different classification criteria.
When dealing with glass fibers, it's essential to distinguish between different types. For example, HS-6 701919 includes unbonded glass fibers, while HS-6 701930 covers glass wool, which is often used for thermal insulation.
Understanding these distinctions can help avoid customs delays. Always ensure your product descriptions match the specific HS code to facilitate smooth clearance.
