Import Tips

Verify tire specifications including exact rim diameter (40.64-43.18 cm) and radial construction via DOT markings to confirm HTS 4011.10.1050 classification

Provide manufacturer certificates confirming new pneumatic tires, not retreads (which fall under 4012), and ensure compliance with U.S. tire labeling standards (TREAD Act)
