Import Tips
• Verify tire specifications match 'motorcycle use' per DOT standards to avoid reclassification to bicycle tires (4011.10)
• Include detailed technical specs and manufacturer certification in documentation to prove pneumatic construction
• Check for anti-dumping duties on tires from specific countries like China; use HTS lookup tools for updates
