Overview
This HTS category, 7019.64.70.00, specifically classifies fiberglass tire cord fabric. The defining characteristics are that it is woven from continuous glass filaments ranging from 9 to 11 microns in diameter. Crucially, these fabrics are treated with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex compound, which is essential for their adhesion to polymeric compounds used in tire manufacturing. The "electrically nonconductive" nature of the filaments is also a key descriptor for this specialized fabric.
Within its immediate sibling category, 7019.64.90, any other fiberglass woven fabrics that are not specifically colored would be classified. This indicates that the "Colored" designation at this level is a significant differentiator, implying that the fabric in 7019.64.70.00 is intentionally colored, perhaps for identification or specific manufacturing process requirements, beyond the standard properties of the treated tire cord.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for fiberglass tire cord fabric meeting all the specified technical and treatment criteria. The presence of specific diameter ranges for the fiberglass filaments and the particular resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment are the primary determinants for its inclusion in this precise HTS code.
