RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Yarn

This is a specialized fiberglass yarn made from continuous filaments measuring 9-11 microns in diameter, electrically nonconductive, and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) treatment to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds. It is primarily used as reinforcement in high-performance tires such as radial truck tires. It falls under HTS 7019.13.05.00 due to its specific filament size and RFL impregnation designed for rubber reinforcement.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7019.11.00Higher: 39.9% vs 35%

If filaments under 5 microns in diameter

Finer filaments (less than 5 microns) are classified separately in 7019.11 for different textile applications, not rubber reinforcement.

5902.10.00Higher: 40.8% vs 35%

If further processed into tire cord fabric

Once woven into fabric and coated with rubber, it becomes tire cord textile under Chapter 59, shifting from raw yarn classification.

7019.19Lower: 14.2% vs 35%

If colored or not RFL treated for rubber

Colored yarns or those without specific RFL rubber adhesion treatment fall under other subheadings in 7019.19.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing to confirm classification under 7019.13.05.00 and avoid reclassification to general yarn

Provide supplier certifications for nonconductive properties and treatment composition; ensure documentation matches exact HTS description for customs clearance
