Overview
This HTS category, 7019.62.05.00, specifically covers fiberglass tire cord fabric that is woven from continuous fiberglass filaments ranging from 9 to 11 microns in diameter. A critical characteristic of these goods is their impregnation with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment, designed to enhance adhesion to polymeric compounds. This treatment is essential for the fabric's intended application in tire reinforcement.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 7019.62.15.00, which is designated for "Other" closed fabrics of rovings not exceeding 30 cm in width. While both fall under mechanically bonded fabrics and other closed fabrics of rovings not exceeding 30 cm, the key differentiator for 7019.62.05.00 lies in the specific material treatment (resorcinol formaldehyde latex) and its intended use as tire cord fabric, which is not explicitly defined for the "Other" category.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes under 7019.62.05.00 rests on the precise specifications outlined in the description: the diameter of the fiberglass filaments, the weaving from continuous filaments, and the presence of the specific resorcinol formaldehyde latex impregnation for tire cord applications.
