High-Carbon Steel Tire Cord Fabric from Canada
Stranded high-carbon steel wire formed into tire cord fabric for belting in truck and bus tires, providing superior adhesion to rubber compounds. The fine-wire strands are twisted into cables optimized for high-speed and heavy-load applications. HTS 7312.10.3005 covers this as specialized tire cord stranded wire.

Import Tips
• Include test reports showing brass plating for rubber adhesion, essential for tire cord verification
• Declare exact strand diameter (typically under 0.3mm) to confirm compliance with tire cord definition
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as textile fabric, which shifts to Chapter 59
