Stainless Steel Tire Cord for Radial Tires
High-tensile stranded stainless steel wire specifically engineered as tire cord for reinforcing radial passenger car tires. It consists of fine twisted filaments forming a cable structure that enhances tire strength and durability under high stress. Classified under HTS 7312.10.1030 as stranded stainless steel wire designated as 'tire cord', distinct from other ropes or cables.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically designated for tire reinforcement
General stranded stainless steel wire without tire cord function falls under the broader 'other stranded wire' category.
If formed into plaited bands or slings
Plaited bands or sling configurations change the product from simple stranded wire to Chapter 73's plaited structures.
If assembled into complete tire bead bundles
When integrated as a finished tire component like bead bundles, it shifts to Chapter 40 rubber tire parts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tensile strength and filament count certifications to confirm tire cord designation, as misclassification to general stranded wire can trigger audits
• Include manufacturer specs proving stainless steel composition (e.g
• AISI 300 series) and tire-specific design for CBP compliance
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing in bulk coils without end-use declarations, which may shift to parts of machinery headings
