Overview
This HTS category encompasses fiberglass tire cord fabric specifically woven from continuous, electrically nonconductive fiberglass filaments. These filaments have a precise diameter ranging from 9 to 11 microns and undergo a resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment. This impregnation is crucial for ensuring effective adhesion to polymeric compounds, a key characteristic for their intended use in tire reinforcement.
Within the broader classification of open woven fiberglass fabrics exceeding 30 cm in width, this subcategory is distinguished by its "Colored" attribute. This directly differentiates it from the sibling category 7019.66.90, which covers all other fiberglass tire cord fabrics that do not meet this specific "Colored" criteria, implying they would be of a natural, uncolored state.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is concluded at this specific description, highlighting the combination of fiberglass filament characteristics, specific treatment, and the colored nature of the woven fabric as the definitive criteria for inclusion.
