Veils (thin sheets)

Glass fibre veils, thin sheets for industrial use

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 7019 71 00 (glass fibre veils — thin sheets) 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 — such as woven fabrics, mats, or chopped strand products — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry distinct compliance obligations.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.

A word of counsel

Glass fibre articles within heading 7019 are numerous and granularly classified; a thin sheet described imprecisely on shipping documents may be re-classified by customs into a tariff line that does carry compliance, triggering detention pending resolution. The intended end-use — construction, filtration, electrical insulation — does not change the tariff classification but may influence examination scrutiny. Confirm that the product specification and trade description align precisely with the thin-sheet veil subheading before filing the bill of entry.

Frequently asked

Does HSN 7019 71 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 or mat rather than a veil?

Woven fabrics, mats, and other fabricated glass fibre forms are classified under separate tariff lines within Chapter 70 and may attract compliance obligations not applicable to thin-sheet veils.
