7019.72.90.60 - Other (622) 🖩

This HTS category, 7019.72.90.60, encompasses "Other" colored, chemically bonded, closed fabrics of glass fibers and glass wool that do not fall into more specific subcategories. These articles are characterized by their construction, where glass fibers are bound together through chemical means, forming a closed fabric structure, and they possess a coloration that distinguishes them from uncolored alternatives. Examples within this classification might include specialized glass fiber fabrics designed for specific industrial applications, where color is an important identification or functional characteristic, and their construction method does not align with more precisely defined types of glass fiber fabrics.

The critical distinction for this classification lies in its residual nature. Unlike its sibling category, 7019.72.90.30, which specifically covers silica filament fabrics with a high silica content, this "Other" category is for colored closed fabrics where the silica content might be lower, or the construction method or intended use leads it to be classified here. It serves as a catch-all for colored, closed, chemically bonded glass fiber fabrics that do not meet the stringent material requirements of the silica filament fabric category, or other more narrowly defined types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges on meeting the preceding criteria: being a closed fabric, chemically bonded, of glass fibers or glass wool, and being colored. If an item fits these general descriptors and does not qualify for a more specific heading or subheading, it will be classified under this code.
