Import Tips
• Include forklift model compatibility certificates to prove industrial handling end-use and prevent misclassification
• Check for proper pneumatic pressure ratings documentation; non-pneumatic solid tires fall outside Chapter 40
• Beware of tread wear indicators—ensure they match 'herring-bone' definition per customs rulings to avoid 4011.70 reclassification
