Overview
This HTS classification, 7019.73.51.00, specifically designates fiberglass tire cord. These cords are manufactured from continuous fiberglass filaments, ranging in diameter from 9 to 11 microns, and are notably electrically nonconductive. A critical characteristic is their impregnation with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment, essential for ensuring strong adhesion to polymeric compounds, a key requirement for their intended use in tire manufacturing.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7019.73.90, which covers "Other" open fabrics within the chemically bonded fabrics of glass fibers. While 7019.73.90 encompasses a broader range of chemically bonded open fabrics made from glass fibers, 7019.73.51.00 is narrowly focused on the specific application and material treatment of fiberglass tire cord. The precise diameter of the filaments and the specific latex treatment are the defining features that differentiate this subcategory.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level hinges on the precise physical and chemical characteristics of the fiberglass material, particularly its diameter, non-conductive nature, and the specific resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment, which collectively identify it as tire cord intended for integration into rubber or polymer matrices.
