Import Tips
• Verify tire specifications match 'light truck' criteria (e.g
• load index, rim diameter 15-22 inches) to avoid reclassification
• Include DOT certification and manufacturing date codes on documentation to prove 'new' status
• Watch for ply rating discrepancies; mislabeling can trigger audits on highway suitability
