Import Tips
• Verify DOT marking and production date code to confirm 'new' status; used tires may shift to HTS 4012
• Provide manufacturer specs proving off-highway design (e.g
• tread pattern, load index) to avoid reclassification to on-highway codes
• Include end-use declaration for construction/mining to support 'other off-the-highway' categorization and prevent agricultural misclassification
