On 24 May the European Commission published changes to the Tariff on multi-axial glass fibre fabrics made up of separate layers of parallel glass filament yarns, which are laid on top of each other at different angles, classifiable under tariff subheading 7019.39.00 - “Other”.
According to the notice, this tariff subheading includes multi-axial glass fibre fabrics which consist of separate layers of parallel glass filament yarns and where the layers are laid on top of one another at different angles.
The layers are bound together with a synthetic thread by mechanical bonding. These fabrics are used, for example, in boat and ship building or for making blades for wind turbines.
