Chemically bonded mats

Glass fibre chemically bonded mats

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7019 15 00 (chemically bonded glass fibre mats) 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other glass fibre products under Chapter 70 — including woven rovings, 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 products are finely differentiated by manufacturing method, bonding type, and end use, and customs examination may re-classify a consignment to a tariff line that carries compliance — triggering detention pending the relevant certificate. Importers should confirm that the product specification explicitly identifies chemical bonding (as opposed to mechanical or stitch bonding) and matches the declared tariff line before shipment.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7019 15 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 product is a woven fabric, glass wool, or mechanically bonded mat?

Those products are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 70 and may attract compliance obligations that do not apply to chemically bonded mats.
