Texturized Glass Roving for Bearing Lubrication from Japan

Texturized glass roving features bulked filaments for enhanced lubrication retention in industrial bearings and bushings. Under HTS 7019.12.00.40, it remains classified as rovings for packing/lubricating despite texturing, as pre-annealing processes don't constitute 'worked' per Chapter note (a). Ideal for high-wear applications without metal coatings.

Import Tips

Provide texturizing process affidavits confirming no annealing occurred; ensure end-use letters from buyers specify lubrication to prevent general roving classification; common error: undervaluing based on weight without filament count
