RFL-Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9.5 Microns from Japan

This is a closed woven fabric made from continuous fiberglass filaments measuring 9.5 microns in diameter, specifically designed for tire reinforcement. It is impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) treatment to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. Classifies under HTS 7019.61.30.00 due to its exact filament size range (9-11 microns), nonconductive properties, and RFL impregnation for tire cord use.

Import Tips

Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing to confirm HTS 7019.61.30.00 classification and avoid reclassification to broader fiberglass fabrics

Provide manufacturer's specs on nonconductive filaments and adhesion treatment; include tire industry end-use documentation for customs clearance
