RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 9.5 Microns from Mexico

This is a 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 7019.69.30.00 due to its specific filament size (9-11 microns), mechanical bonding, non-colored nature, and RFL impregnation designed for tire reinforcement. Primarily used as a carcass or belt material in radial passenger car tires.

Import Tips

• Verify filament diameter is precisely 9-11 microns via lab testing, as deviations shift classification to other 7019 subheadings

• Provide supplier certification for RFL impregnation and non-conductive properties to avoid reclassification as rubberized textile (5902)

• Ensure documentation proves tire cord end-use; bulk shipments without specs risk customs holds for measurement confirmation
