U.S. imports of tire cord fabric of high-tenacity viscose rayon yarn (HS 590290) totaled $854K in July 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Tire Cord Fabric of High-Tenacity Viscose Rayon Yarn paid $88K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $854K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataViscose rayon high-tenacity tire cord fabric occupies a specialized segment of the tire reinforcement market, valued for its heat resistance and dimensional stability in high-performance and aircraft tire applications where synthetic alternatives may be less suitable. A single US tariff line (5902900000) covers this heading, and correct classification depends on confirming the regenerated cellulose (viscose rayon) fiber identity rather than polyamide or polyester. Luxembourg and Germany are the leading suppliers to the US market, reflecting the concentration of advanced rayon tire cord production in European specialty chemical-textile manufacturers. Importers should be prepared to provide fiber composition documentation, as viscose rayon cord can be visually similar to other high-tenacity yarns.

Viscose rayon cord is particularly valued in high-performance, racing, and aircraft tires because of its superior heat resistance and low thermal shrinkage compared to synthetic alternatives. Its use in standard passenger car tires has declined, but it remains the material of choice in applications where thermal stability under extreme conditions is critical.
CBP may accept laboratory test reports using AATCC or ASTM standard methods for fiber identification, including solubility tests and microscopic analysis that distinguish regenerated cellulose fibers from synthetic polyamide or polyester. Manufacturer's mill certificates stating fiber composition by weight are also standard supporting documentation, though CBP retains the right to request independent laboratory analysis.
