Import Tips

Verify DOT certification and speed/load ratings on sidewall to confirm highway truck/bus classification and avoid misclassification as off-road

Provide manufacturer specs proving 'new pneumatic' status and radial construction; retain production records to demonstrate not scrap or waste per Chapter 40 note 4
