Overview
This HTS category, 7019.63.70.00, specifically covers fiberglass tire cord fabric that is woven from continuous fiberglass filaments. These filaments must fall within a specific diameter range of 9 to 11 microns and be electrically nonconductive. A key characteristic is that the fabric is impregnated with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment, essential for its adhesion to polymeric compounds, particularly in tire manufacturing.
The distinction of this category lies in the specific treatment and intended end-use. While sibling category 7019.63.90 would encompass other "colored" woven fiberglass fabrics that do not meet the detailed filament size and impregnation requirements for tire cord, this subcategory is narrowly defined for the specialized tire reinforcement material. The presence of the resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment is the primary differentiating factor.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7019.63.70.00 is conclusive for fiberglass tire cord fabric meeting all the specified filament characteristics and impregnation requirements. Any other woven fiberglass fabrics, even if colored, would fall under the residual "Other" category at this level.
