Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If standard brass plated version
Typical tire bead wire is brass plated, classifying under plated/coated 7217.20.
If non-round (hexagonal, oval) cross-section
Tire bead wire often hexagonal; non-round classifies separately from round wire.
If assembled into complete tire beads
Fabricated tire bead assemblies with rubber classified as tire parts in Chapter 40.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Tire bead wire commonly brass plated; uncoated rare—provide coating test results showing no plating
• Specify SAE J356 or equivalent automotive spec; tensile strength documentation supports carbon content
