RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9.5 Micron

This open weave fiberglass fabric, woven from continuous nonconductive filaments measuring 9.5 microns in diameter, is impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) for superior adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. Weighing under 250 g/m² with plain weave structure wider than 30 cm, it meets HTS 7019.66.70 criteria for colored tire cord fabrics of 9-11 micron filaments. Primarily used as reinforcement in radial passenger tires.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

5902.10.00.00Higher: 40.8% vs 35%

If treated as rubberized textile for tire use

Rubber-impregnated tire cord fabric falls under Chapter 59 as textile fabric coated with rubber, not glass fibers.

7019Same rate: 35%

If thinner filaments under 9 microns

Filaments per single yarn exceeding 136 tex or different diameter range classify under woven fabrics of thicker rovings.

4010Lower: 13.3% vs 35%

If sold as complete conveyor belt reinforcement

When assembled into rubber belts, it becomes a transmission/conveyor belt article under Chapter 40, not raw fabric.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation certification to avoid reclassification to general fiberglass fabrics

Provide tire manufacturer end-use documentation; common pitfall is classifying as uncoated textile under Chapter 59

Ensure electrical nonconductivity test results; conductive yarns shift to heading 7019.65
