Analysis

HTS 7019.61.05 covers fiberglass tire cord fabric woven 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…).

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 7.3%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 7019.61.40 (not colored: other), at 7.3%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 7.3 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.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 28% of the 192 tariff lines in chapter 70. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 314994 (Rope, Cordage, Twine, Tire Cord, and Tire Fabric Mills), an industry of 124 US establishments employing 6,176 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
