HS v2017 Code: 701939

About glass fibres; webs, mattresses, boards and similar non-woven products excluding mats and thin sheets

HS code 701939 covers a diverse range of glass fiber products, including webs, mattresses, boards, and other non-woven materials. These materials play a crucial role in various industries, from construction and transportation to electronics and renewable energy. As a versatile and high-performance material, glass fiber products are in high demand globally, contributing significantly to international trade and the broader economy.

Production process

The production of glass fiber products under HS code 701939 typically involves a multi-step process. First, molten glass is extruded through small orifices to form continuous filaments. These filaments are then gathered and processed into various forms, such as webs, mats, or boards, using techniques like spinning, weaving, or non-woven manufacturing. The specific production methods may vary depending on the desired end-product characteristics and applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of glass fiber products under HS code 701939 include high-quality glass raw materials, such as silica sand, limestone, and other mineral additives. Specialized machinery, including extruders, spinners, and non-woven production equipment, is also essential. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring consistent quality.

Production outputs

The glass fiber products covered by HS code 701939 are used in a wide range of applications. These materials can be found in 701931 Glass fibres; mats and 701932 (Glass fibres; thin sheets (voiles), webs, mats, mattresses, boards and similar nonwoven products), which are often used in the construction, automotive, and aerospace industries. Additionally, the output from this industry may be consumed by manufacturers of 854411 (Insulated (including enamelled or anodised) wire, cable (including co-axial cable) and other insulated electric conductors), 940421 Mattresses, and 940490 Other articles of bedding and similar furnishing, among others.
