Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric RFL Impregnated 9.5 Micron from Mexico
This is a plain weave closed 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. It falls under HTS 7019.63.30.00 due to its specific filament size range (9-11 microns), non-colored status, and RFL impregnation for tire reinforcement applications. The fabric is mechanically bonded and not coated or laminated beyond the adhesion treatment.

Import Tips
• Verify filament diameter is precisely 9-11 microns via lab testing, as deviations shift classification to other 7019 subheadings
• Provide mill test certificates confirming RFL impregnation and electrical nonconductivity to clear customs without delays
• Ensure documentation specifies tire cord use; general fiberglass fabrics may face higher scrutiny or reclassification
