Import Tips
• Provide detailed tread diagrams and vehicle compatibility docs to substantiate herring-bone classification under 4011.90.10
• Label tires clearly with size, ply rating, and intended forestry use to prevent reclassification during customs review
• Watch for FTZ benefits for bulk imports; pitfall is mixing with standard tread tires causing batch re-assessment
