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 701980 when importing or exporting glass fibers, including products like glass wool and woven fabrics made from glass fibers. For instance, a shipment of insulation material made from glass wool would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers glass fibers and articles made from them, distinguishing them from other glass products. For example, HS-6 701930 applies to glass wool, while HS-6 701990 includes other glass articles not specified elsewhere.
When dealing with glass fibers, it's important to note that this classification encompasses various forms, such as yarns and rovings, which are often used in composite materials. These products are typically lightweight and have excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this code, consider its composition and intended use. For example, a shipment of glass fiber yarn used in industrial applications would qualify under this HS-6, while a different type of glass fabric might not.
