HS Code 5902.10 – Textile fabrics; tyrecord of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides
HS code 5902.10 is the 6-digit subheading for textile fabrics, tyrecord of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other polyamides. It is used for nylon 66 tire cord fabric, polyamide tire reinforcement fabric, high-tenacity nylon cord, dipped nylon tire fabric and nylon tire ply material.
What HS 5902.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers tire cord fabric manufactured from high-tenacity yarns of nylon or other polyamides. This highly specialized textile is a critical, high-volume industrial product, forming the essential reinforcement structure within tires, providing the necessary strength, durability, and structural integrity. It is primarily traded between specialized textile manufacturers and global tire producers. Importers are typically large tire companies and automotive component manufacturers who integrate these fabrics into their tire production lines. Exporters are textile mills with advanced weaving and yarn treatment technologies, capable of producing materials that meet stringent automotive safety and performance standards. Key considerations for trade include the yarn denier, weave construction, and adhesion properties, all of which directly impact tire performance, safety, and longevity.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
