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
