Last updated: April 2026 dataTwisted or assembled glass filament yarns and untwisted slivers serve the electronics, aerospace, and industrial textile sectors — printed circuit board laminates and high-temperature insulation fabrics are among the most demanding end uses. The US schedule is unusually granular, with eight 10-digit lines distinguishing colored from uncolored yarn, rubber-reinforcing yarn containing continuous filaments, yarn used as industrial packing or lubricating material, and slivers (7019133500). Mexico is the dominant supplier, with Taiwan and Latvia also significant sources.

The distinction turns on whether the yarn has been dyed or otherwise colored in the manufacturing process. Uncolored yarns for general use fall under lines such as 7019131540 or 7019131580, while colored counterparts classify under 7019132400 or 7019132800. Importers should obtain mill certifications confirming color treatment to support the correct line.
Rubber-reinforcing yarn (lines 7019130500 and 7019132400) consists of continuous filaments specifically engineered for embedding in rubber compounds — used in hose, belt, and tire applications. The continuous-filament construction and surface treatment differ from standard textile yarns, and customs may request technical specifications or end-use documentation to confirm classification.
