Mechanically bonded mats

Mechanically bonded mats of glass fibres

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7019 14 00 (mechanically bonded mats of glass fibres) 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 products within Chapter 70 — including woven fabrics, chopped strand mats, and glass wool — may be classified under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

The principal risk at this tariff line is misclassification: glass fibre mats bonded by chemical binders rather than mechanical means may be re-classified by customs to a different tariff line within Chapter 70, triggering retrospective compliance and potential detention. Similarly, glass wool products used for thermal or acoustic insulation are classified separately and may carry their own requirements. Verify the bonding method and end-use specification before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7019 14 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 mat is bonded chemically rather than mechanically?

Chemically bonded glass fibre mats are classified under a separate tariff line within Chapter 70 and may attract distinct compliance obligations, making the bonding method a material classification criterion.
