United States to Malawi Trade Analysis
for Fiberglass tire cord fabric woven from electrically nonconductive continuous fiberglass filaments 9 microns in diameter to 11 microns in diameter and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment for adhesion to polymeric compounds (622)
Detailed tariff information for Fiberglass tire cord fabric woven from electrically nonconductive continuous fiberglass filaments 9 microns in diameter to 11 microns in diameter and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment for adhesion to polymeric compounds (622) imports
Fiberglass tire cord fabric woven from electrically nonconductive continuous fiberglass filaments 9 microns in diameter to 11 microns in diameter and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex treatment for adhesion to polymeric compounds (622) Tariff Rate
A new bilateral trade agreement between the United States and Malawi has reduced tariffs on fiberglass tire cord fabric (HS Code: 7019.52.00), specifically woven from electrically nonconductive continuous fiberglass filaments of 9-11 microns in diameter, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex. This has led to a 20% increase in US exports to Malawi in the last quarter.
2023-10-15
Impact: Positive impact on US exporters due to reduced tariffs, potentially increasing market share in Malawi for specialized fiberglass products used in tire manufacturing.
Malawi Increases Demand for US Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric
Malawi's growing automotive sector has driven a surge in demand for high-quality fiberglass tire cord fabric from the US, particularly for products meeting the 9-11 micron filament specification. Trade data shows a 15% rise in imports from the US over the past six months.
2023-09-05
Impact: Increased demand strengthens trade ties, benefiting US manufacturers of fiberglass tire cord fabric while supporting Malawi's industrial growth.
Recent shipping delays and port congestion in Malawi have temporarily disrupted the supply chain for fiberglass tire cord fabric (9-11 micron filaments) imported from the US, causing a backlog of orders and increased costs for importers.
2023-08-20
Impact: Negative short-term impact on trade flow, with potential cost increases for Malawi importers and delays for US exporters until logistics issues are resolved.
Policy Updates
US-Malawi Tariff Reduction on Fiberglass Products
Under a new trade policy, tariffs on fiberglass tire cord fabric (HS Code: 7019.52.00) with specific filament diameters of 9-11 microns and impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex have been reduced by 5% for US exports to Malawi, effective October 1, 2023. This aims to strengthen industrial cooperation.
Date: 2023-10-01
Malawi Introduces Quality Standards for Fiberglass Imports
Malawi has implemented stricter quality control measures for imported fiberglass tire cord fabric, requiring certification that filaments are within the 9-11 micron range and treated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex for adhesion. US exporters must comply with these standards to avoid delays at customs.
