How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the fabric is tire cord fabric made for reinforcing tires, not general-purpose woven fabric.
- Check that the yarn is high tenacity; ordinary tenacity filament yarn does not qualify.
- Identify the fiber: nylon or other polyamides goes to 5902.10.00.00, polyesters to 5902.20.00.00, and other fibers such as viscose rayon to 5902.90.00.00.
- Check for plastic coating or rubberization, because those treatments can move the goods to heading 5903 or 5906.
- Use the fiber of the tire cord fabric, not the finished tire, to select the subheading.
