RFL-Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 10-Micron from China

Woven fabric made from continuous electrically nonconductive fiberglass filaments measuring 10 microns in diameter, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) treatment to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. This product is classified under HTS 7019.62.05.00 due to its specific filament size (9-11 microns), narrow width not exceeding 30 cm, and RFL impregnation for tire cord applications. It serves as a reinforcement material in radial tires for improved strength and durability.

Import Tips

• Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing to confirm HTS 7019.62.05.00 classification and avoid reclassification to broader fabric codes

• Provide mill test certificates documenting electrical nonconductivity and treatment composition for U.S

• Customs review

• Ensure proper invoicing specifies tire cord end-use to prevent misclassification as general glass fabric
