High-Strength Stainless Tire Cord Fabric
Stranded stainless steel wire twisted into cord form for weaving into tire reinforcement fabric, primarily for truck and bus radial tires. The fine-wire construction provides superior adhesion to rubber compounds and resistance to fatigue. HTS 7312.10.1030 applies as it is stranded stainless steel explicitly for tire cord use, not yet woven.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If coated with brass or other metal
Metal-coated stranded wire for tires moves to coated ropes and cables due to surface treatment altering classification.
If of alloy steel not stainless
Non-stainless alloy steel wire strands fall under Chapter 72 bars and rods, wire section.
If impregnated with rubber during import
Rubber-impregnated tire cord fabric is treated as textile material of Chapter 59.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide engineering drawings showing twist angle and filament diameter to distinguish from general cables during customs valuation
• Ensure invoices specify 'tire cord' end-use to prevent reclassification; pair with rubber adhesion test reports
• Watch for over-declaration of quantity in uncoated form, as coating addition could invoke chemical treatment subheadings
