This heading covers tyre cord fabric, whether or not dipped or impregnated with rubber or plastics.
These fabrics are used in the manufacture of tyres and consist of a warp of parallel filament yarns, held in place, at specific distances, by weft yarns. The warp always consists of high tenacity yarns of nylon or other polyamides, polyesters or viscose rayon, while the weft, widely-spaced and intended solely to hold the warp in place, may consist of other yarns. For the description of high tenacity yarn, see Note 6 to Section XI. The heading does not cover other woven fabrics used in the manufacture of tyres nor fabrics of yarns which do not meet the specification of Note 6 to Section XI (Chapter 54 or heading 59.03 or 59.06, as the case may be).
