Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specs confirming 'radial' construction to differentiate from bias tires during customs review
• Declare exact tire dimensions (e.g
• 225/45R17) accurately to match HTS statistical suffixes
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian-origin radial tires; check current orders
