Analysis
HTS 7019.19.70 covers fiberglass rubber reinforcing cord, made from electrically nonconductive continuous fiberglass filaments 9 microns in diameter to 11 microns in diameter and… under heading 7019 (glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles thereof (for example, yarn, rovings…).
Within this group the rate runs from 4.2% to 4.9%. Compared with 7019.19.30 (chopped strands, of a length more than 50 mm), which pays 4.9%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4.9 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 50% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 50% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 28% of the 192 tariff lines in chapter 70, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 7019.19.30 (chopped strands, of a length more than 50 mm, 4.9%) and 7019.19.91 (other: other, 4.2%).
