Other open fabrics
Open-weave glass fibre fabrics for industrial or construction use
HSN 7019 73 00 (other open fabrics 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 (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other articles within Chapter 70 — including glass wool insulation products and woven glass fibre reinforcements classified under neighbouring tariff lines — may carry compliance obligations, making precise product classification the principal importer risk.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line does not extend to all glass fibre articles under Chapter 70; glass wool and glass fibre products intended for thermal or acoustic insulation, or for reinforcement in construction applications, may be classified under tariff lines that do attract Quality Control Order coverage. Re-classification on customs examination triggers retrospective compliance, including detention pending the relevant certification. Verify the fabric's construction — open versus closed weave, binder type, intended end-use — against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance.
