10.5-Micron Electrically Nonconductive RFL Cord
A specialty fiberglass reinforcing cord made from 10.5-micron continuous filaments, treated with resorcinol-formaldehyde-latex (RFL) to promote adhesion in rubber compounds. It is used in V-belts and transmission belts where low stretch and high modulus are required. This product falls under tariff item 7019.19.00 as a yarn or cord of glass fibres, not elsewhere specified.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported already incorporated into a conveyor or transmission belt
Belts made of rubber with textile reinforcement fall under Chapter 40.
If the cord is further processed into a finished article
Other articles of glass fibres are covered under this residual heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the RFL treatment is declared as a surface finish, not a separate component, to avoid reclassification
• Keep mill certificates showing filament diameter and tensile strength for CBSA verification
• Verify whether the cord qualifies for preferential treatment under a free trade agreement by providing a valid certificate of origin
