RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Yarn from Japan

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
