Overview
This HTS classification, 7019.62.70.00, specifically covers certain types of fiberglass tire cord fabric. The defining characteristics of the goods within this category are that they are woven from continuous fiberglass filaments with a specific diameter range (9 to 11 microns) and have been treated with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex for enhanced adhesion to polymeric compounds. This treatment is crucial for their intended application in reinforcing tires.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7019.62.90 (Other), lies in the color characteristic. While both fall under "Other closed fabrics of rovings," this specific subcategory applies to those fabrics that are colored. This coloring can be achieved through various dyeing or pigmentation processes during manufacturing. The distinction is important for ensuring accurate tariff application, as the presence of color can be a key differentiator.
As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification professionals is on verifying that the imported or exported goods meet all the precise criteria outlined in the description: the material (fiberglass filaments), the construction (woven, from rovings), the diameter of filaments, the impregnation treatment, and the presence of color. This level of specificity ensures precise identification within the broader category of mechanically bonded fabrics of fiberglass.
