Overview
This HTS classification, 7312.10.10.30, specifically covers "Tire cord" made from iron or steel. Tire cord refers to high-strength wire strands or cables that are woven or twisted together, primarily designed for reinforcement within pneumatic tires. Its robust construction is essential for providing structural integrity, load-bearing capacity, and durability to tires used in vehicles.
Within the broader category of stranded wire, ropes, and cables of iron or steel, this subcategory distinguishes itself by its specific application and construction tailored for the tire industry. It differentiates from sibling categories such as 7312.10.10.50, which covers stranded wire with a specific lay or twist characteristic, and 7312.10.10.70, which broadly encompasses other types of stranded wire. The key differentiator for tire cord is its intended use in tire manufacturing and the stringent performance requirements associated with that application.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7312.10.10.30 is final and determined by the product's nature as tire cord, composed of iron or steel stranded wire, and its intended end-use in pneumatic tires. Import and export declarations should clearly identify this specific product to ensure accurate tariff application.
