Last updated: July 2026 dataGlass veils — also called voiles or thin sheets — are lightweight nonwoven glass fiber products used as surface layers in roofing membranes, flooring underlays, and composite laminates to improve surface finish and dimensional stability. The entire heading resolves to a single US tariff line, 7019710000, reflecting the product's relatively uniform commercial form. Germany and the Netherlands are the leading suppliers to the US market, pointing to a concentration of European specialty glass fiber manufacturing capacity in this niche.

Glass veils (voiles) are very thin, lightweight nonwoven sheets of glass fibers, typically used as surface layers rather than structural reinforcement. Heavier nonwoven glass mats or chopped-strand mats may fall under different headings within Chapter 70. The key classification factors are fiber bonding method, areal weight, and intended construction — importers uncertain about the boundary should consult a licensed customs broker and, if necessary, seek a binding ruling from CBP.
The primary end uses are roofing and waterproofing membranes (where the veil acts as a carrier or surface reinforcement), resilient flooring products, and fiber-reinforced composite laminates where a smooth, resin-rich surface layer is required. Demand therefore tracks construction activity and composite manufacturing output.
