Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric
This closed woven plain weave fabric is made from electrically nonconductive continuous fiberglass filaments measuring 9-11 microns in diameter, colored, and specifically impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) treatment to enhance adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. It falls under HTS 7019.63.70.00 due to its precise filament size, weave type, nonconductive properties, coloring, and RFL impregnation tailored for tire cord applications. The mechanical bonding and lack of coating or lamination further confirm this classification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not colored
Uncolored versions of the same RFL-impregnated fiberglass tire cord fabric classify under the non-colored subheading within the same mechanically bonded fabrics group.
If classified primarily as tire reinforcement textile
If Customs views the RFL treatment as making it a rubber-reinforced textile rather than a glass fiber article, it shifts to Chapter 59 for tire cord fabrics of high tenacity yarn.
If for non-woven mechanically bonded glass fiber fabrics
Products using the same filaments but in non-woven form (not closed woven plain weave) fall under the earlier subheading for non-woven glass fiber fabrics.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing to avoid reclassification; provide manufacturer specs confirming nonconductive continuous filaments and plain weave structure
• Ensure documentation includes tire cord end-use declaration to prevent misfiling under general glass fabrics
