7019.11.00.00 - Chopped strands, of a length of not more than 50 mm

This HTS category, 7019.11.00.00, specifically classifies chopped strands of glass fibers. These are essentially glass fibers that have been cut into short, discrete lengths, with each individual strand measuring no more than 50 millimeters. The primary characteristic for classification here is the form and size of the glass fiber strands.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, rovings (7019.12.00) consist of untwisted strands of glass fiber, while other yarn and slivers (7019.13) represent more consolidated or spun forms of glass fiber. Mechanically bonded (7019.14.00.00) and chemically bonded (7019.15.00.00) mats refer to non-woven fabrics formed by adhering glass fibers together through mechanical or chemical processes, respectively. This node, however, focuses solely on the loose, chopped form of the glass fiber.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7019.11.00.00 is determined strictly by the material (glass fibers) and the specific form (chopped strands of a defined length). Goods that meet these criteria, regardless of their intended end-use or further processing, will fall under this heading.
