E-Glass Chopped Strands 3mm

E-glass chopped strands measuring 3mm in length, produced from alkali-free borosilicate glass fibers, used primarily as reinforcement in composite materials like fiberglass resins. These fall under HTS 7019.11.00.00 as chopped strands not exceeding 50mm, distinct from continuous rovings or yarns. They are supplied in bulk for industrial compounding.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7019.12.00Lower: 39.8% vs 39.9%

If strand length exceeds 50mm

Longer chopped strands shift to subheading for lengths over 50mm, altering duty treatment.

6806.20.00.00Lower: 35% vs 39.9%

If silica content <60% without qualifying alkaline/boric oxides

Fails Chapter 70 glass wool specs, falling to mineral wools/articles in Chapter 68.

7019Same rate: 39.9%

If supplied as woven or non-woven mats

Processed into mats changes from mere chopped strands to mat products.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify filament diameter and length certification to confirm ≀50mm classification under 7019.11; exceeding triggers 7019.12

β€’ Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) detailing silica content β‰₯60% for compliance with Chapter 70 glass wool definitions

β€’ Avoid misdeclaration as textile yarns; declare as glass fibers to prevent reclassification to Chapter 54/55
