Polyester 75-80 Decitex 24-Filament Yarn for Tire Cord from Japan
This is a single, untwisted polyester yarn with 75-80 decitex and exactly 24 filaments per yarn, designed specifically for reinforcement in radial tire manufacturing. It falls under HTS 5402.47.10 due to its precise decitex range, filament count, and use in industrial textile applications not for retail sale. The yarn's high tenacity makes it ideal for embedding in rubber compounds.

Import Tips
• Verify exact decitex (75-80) and 24 filaments per yarn via lab testing, as minor deviations shift classification
• Provide end-use certificates for tire cord to avoid reclassification as general textile yarn
• Ensure supplier specs match HTS specs; common pitfall is untwisted yarn exceeding 50 turns/m
