RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 10 Micron from Japan
Closed woven plain weave fiberglass fabric made from continuous nonconductive filaments measuring 10 microns in diameter, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) for optimal adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. Width does not exceed 30 cm, specifically designed as tire cord reinforcement. Falls under HTS 7019.64.05.00 due to precise filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL treatment meeting statistical suffix 622 requirements.

Import Tips
• Measure filament diameter precisely (9-11 microns) as this determines HTS classification; deviations shift to 7019.64.10.00 or other subheadings
• Provide lab certification proving RFL impregnation and nonconductive properties; customs requires documentation of treatment formulation
