Overview
This HTS subcategory, 7019.64.30.00, specifically covers woven fabrics made from continuous fiberglass filaments with diameters ranging from 9 to 11 microns. These fabrics are further characterized by their impregnation with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment, which is crucial for ensuring adhesion to polymeric compounds. The "electrically nonconductive" nature of the fiberglass filaments is also a defining characteristic for classification within this code. The "622" designation in the description likely refers to a specific internal customs ruling or cross-reference relevant to the precise composition and application.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7019.64.40, by the detailed specification of fiberglass filament diameter and the inclusion of the resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment. While sibling categories might encompass other types of fiberglass woven fabrics under broader definitions, this particular code requires the precise combination of filament fineness and the specified impregnation for adhesion. The context established by its parent categories, "Glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles thereof," and further refined through "Mechanically bonded fabrics," "Closed woven fabrics, plain weave, of yarns, coated or laminated," and "Not colored," firmly places this item within specialized technical textiles.
As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the detailed technical specifications that define this precise type of fiberglass tire cord fabric. Classification into this subcategory hinges on meeting all stipulated criteria regarding filament diameter, weave type, the absence of color, and the presence of the specific resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment for intended use in adhesion to polymeric compounds, such as in tire manufacturing.
