7019.64.15 - Other

This HTS classification applies to mechanically bonded fabrics made from glass fibers, specifically those that are closed woven and constructed in a plain weave using yarns that have been coated or laminated. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that these fabrics are of a width not exceeding 30 centimeters. These materials are often engineered for specific industrial applications where the properties of coated or laminated glass fiber fabrics are required in a narrower format.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, HTS 7019.64.05.00. That sibling specifically covers fiberglass tire cord, which is woven from continuous glass filaments of a particular diameter and treated with a specific impregnation for adhesion within polymeric compounds used in tire manufacturing. The current classification, however, is broader, encompassing other types of mechanically bonded, closed woven glass fiber fabrics that meet the width and coating/lamination criteria but are not exclusively designated for tire cord applications.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the weight of the fabric per square meter. Subcategory 7019.64.15.10 addresses fabrics weighing 185 grams or less per square meter, allowing for more precise tariff application based on material density. The remaining fabrics within this width limitation, that do not fall under the specific weight criteria, are then classified under subcategory 7019.64.15.90, designated as "Other."
