Alternative Classifications

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

7019.19Same rate: 35%

If filaments under 9 microns in diameter

Finer filaments (less than 9 microns) fall into separate statistical suffix for ultra-fine fiberglass reinforcing cord.

5902.10.00Higher: 40.8% vs 35%

If further processed into rubber tire cord fabric

When woven into textile fabric and coated with rubber, it becomes tire cord fabric under Chapter 59 textile-rubber composites.

6806.20.00Same rate: 35%

If silica content below 60% without qualifying oxides

Fails Chapter 70 glass wool/fiber definition per notes, treated as mineral wool substitute under Chapter 68.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing, as deviations shift classification to other 7019 subheadings

Provide supplier certificates confirming electrical nonconductivity and treatment formulation to avoid customs reclassification
