Import Tips
• Verify tire specifications confirm bicycle-only use (e.g
• diameter 20-29 inches, ETRTO standards) to avoid misclassification as motorcycle tires under 4011.40
• Include DOT or ISO certification and manufacturing declarations; ensure labeling shows pressure ratings suitable for bicycles (under 100 psi)
