Michelin XZL Radial Off-The-Highway Truck Tire from Japan

The Michelin XZL is a radial pneumatic tire designed for heavy-duty off-the-highway use on construction trucks and dump trucks, featuring extra-deep tread for superior traction in mud and gravel. It falls under HTS 4011.20.10.35 as a new radial tire for truck/bus applications, specifically the 'other' off-the-highway category, excluding certain specialized equipment tires. This classification reflects its robust construction for unpaved terrain rather than on-road highway use.

Import Tips

Verify tire specifications match 'radial' construction and off-the-highway radial for trucks/buses to avoid reclassification to on-highway codes like 4011.20.20

Include DOT markings, load index, and speed ratings in documentation; obtain EPA declarations if dual-use claims apply
