Michelin XZL Radial Off-Highway Truck Tire from Germany

The Michelin XZL is a radial pneumatic tire designed for heavy-duty off-highway trucks and buses, featuring extra-deep tread for superior traction in mining and construction sites. It classifies under HTS 4011.20.10.25 because it is a new rubber tire for rims 40.6 cm (16 inches) or larger, specifically radial construction for off-the-highway bus or truck applications. This ensures compliance with tariff specifications for large industrial tires.

• Customs requires proof of new tire status and excludes retreads
