RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9.5 Micron

Woven fabric made from continuous electrically nonconductive fiberglass filaments measuring 9.5 microns in diameter, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) treatment to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds in tires. This specific tire cord fabric falls under HTS 7019.62.30.00 due to its precise filament diameter range (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation for tire reinforcement applications.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and confirm RFL impregnation via lab testing to ensure classification under 7019.62.30.00

Provide manufacturer specifications and test reports documenting electrical nonconductivity and adhesion treatment for customs clearance

Avoid misclassification as colored fabric (7019.62.40) by confirming untreated natural appearance; common pitfall is inadequate documentation
