7019.61.70.00/RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9 Micron/Japan

RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9 Micron from Japan

This is a closed woven fabric made from continuous electrically nonconductive fiberglass filaments measuring 9 microns in diameter, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) for optimal adhesion to rubber compounds in tires. It falls under HTS 7019.61.70.00 due to its specific filament size (9-11 microns), coloration, and RFL treatment designed for tire reinforcement. Primarily used in passenger car tire manufacturing to enhance strength and durability.

Import Tips

• Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing to confirm HTS 7019.61.70.00 classification; deviations may shift to other subheadings

• Provide mill test certificates documenting electrical nonconductivity, weave type, and treatment for U.S

• Customs; common pitfall is insufficient adhesion treatment proof

• Check for coloration as required; uncolored fabrics classify under 7019.61.10.00—label shipments clearly to avoid reclassification
