RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 10 Micron

This is a narrow woven fabric (width ≤30 cm) made from continuous nonconductive fiberglass filaments measuring 10 microns in diameter, chemically bonded and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) for optimal adhesion to rubber in tire manufacturing. It falls under HTS 7019.72.05.00 due to its specific filament size (9-11 microns), electrical nonconductivity, RFL treatment, and tire cord application as a closed fabric. Used primarily as reinforcement in high-performance radial tires.

Alternative Classifications

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

7019.72Same rate: 35%

If width exceeds 30 cm

Wider fabrics (>30 cm) shift to HTS 7019.72.20.00 while retaining other tire cord specifications.

5902.10.00Higher: 40.8% vs 35%

If treated as tire reinforcement textile after rubber coating

Post-rubber dipping or additional textile processing moves it to Chapter 59 as rubberized textile fabric.

7019.11.00.00Higher: 39.9% vs 35%

If supplied as yarn rather than woven fabric

Unwoven fiberglass filaments for tire cord classify under yarn headings in 7019.11.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing for customs compliance; provide manufacturer specs confirming nonconductive properties and tire cord use

Common pitfall: misdeclaration as general fiberglass fabric leads to reclassification and penalties
