RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Yarn from Germany

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.

Import Tips

• 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
