Overview
This HTS classification, 7019.62.30.00, specifically covers fiberglass tire cord fabric. The defining characteristics of this fabric are that it is woven from continuous glass filaments within a specific diameter range (9 to 11 microns), is electrically nonconductive, and has undergone a resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment. This treatment is crucial as it enhances adhesion to polymeric compounds, which is essential for its intended use as reinforcing material in tires. The fabric is not colored.
At this level of the tariff schedule, the distinction from sibling category 7019.62.40, "Other," lies in the precise definition and treatment of the fiberglass tire cord fabric. While "Other" would encompass any other closed fabrics of rovings that don't meet the specific criteria of this sub-heading, 7019.62.30.00 is narrowly defined by its construction, filament diameter, electrical properties, and the specific impregnation treatment.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7019.62.30.00 is final for fiberglass tire cord fabric meeting all the specified technical and treatment requirements. When encountering such goods, verification of the filament diameter, its woven structure from continuous filaments, its non-conductive nature, and the presence of the resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment is paramount for accurate classification.
