Rovings

Glass fibre rovings for reinforcement and industrial use

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7019 12 00 (glass fibre rovings) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other glass fibre presentations within Chapter 70 — such as woven fabrics, mats, or chopped strands — may be classified under distinct tariff lines that carry separate compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The absence of compliance at this tariff line applies specifically to rovings in their unprocessed bundle form; downstream glass fibre articles or composites may be classified elsewhere in Chapter 70 and attract different treatment. Customs re-classification — for instance, where rovings are presented as part of a finished composite structure — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify the product specification, including tex count, sizing chemistry, and intended end-use, against the customs tariff before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7019 12 00 require any pre-import registration?

A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.

What changes if the glass fibre is imported as woven fabric, mat, or chopped strand rather than rovings?

Those forms are classified under distinct tariff lines within Chapter 70 and may attract separate compliance obligations, making accurate product-form description on the bill of entry essential.
