7019.72.05.00/RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 10 Micron/China

RFL Impregnated Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric 10 Micron from China

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.

Import Tips

• 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
