7019.65 - Open woven fabrics of a width not exceeding 30 cm:

This HTS category, 7019.65, specifically classifies open woven fabrics made from glass fibers, where the width of the fabric does not exceed 30 centimeters. These fabrics are characterized by their interlacing pattern, which leaves visible spaces or gaps between the warp and weft yarns, distinguishing them from "closed" weaves. The defining criterion for inclusion here is the narrow width, limiting the application to specialized uses where such dimensions are required.

Within the broader scope of glass fiber fabrics, this category differentiates itself from sibling entries based on both weave structure and fabric width. While other categories at this level may cover closed woven fabrics or open woven fabrics exceeding 30 cm in width, 7019.65 is exclusively for open weaves of a narrower dimension. This distinction is crucial for accurately classifying goods based on their precise physical construction and intended trade applications.

The subcategories under 7019.65 provide further specificity within the realm of these narrow, open woven glass fabrics. The existence of distinct subcategories, such as fiberglass tire cord treated for adhesion to polymeric compounds, highlights the varied end-uses and technical treatments that can apply to these materials. The "Other" category ensures that any remaining open woven glass fabrics of the specified width, not meeting the criteria for more specific subheadings, are still appropriately classified.
