7019.65.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 7019.65.90, pertains to "Other" mechanically bonded open woven fabrics of glass fibers, specifically those with a width not exceeding 30 cm, that do not fall under the more specific subcategory for fiberglass tire cord. The key defining characteristic here is that these fabrics are constructed through mechanical bonding processes, creating an open weave structure.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7019.65.51.00, is crucial. The sibling specifically covers fiberglass tire cord woven from continuous filaments of a precise diameter (9-11 microns) and treated with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex impregnation, indicating a specialized industrial application for reinforcing polymeric compounds. In contrast, 7019.65.90 encompasses other types of mechanically bonded open woven glass fiber fabrics that do not meet these specific filament diameter, treatment, or primary end-use criteria.

This category serves as a catch-all for mechanically bonded open woven glass fabrics meeting the width and weave criteria that are not otherwise specified. The subcategories, 7019.65.90.10 and 7019.65.90.90, further refine these classifications based on their weight per square meter. 7019.65.90.10 is designated for fabrics weighing 185 grams or less per square meter, while 7019.65.90.90 covers all other mechanically bonded open woven fabrics of glass fiber within this width that do not fit the lighter weight criteria.
