Import Tips

Verify the tread pattern matches 'herring-bone or similar' via manufacturer specs and photos to confirm HTS 4011.90.10 classification

Include DOT markings and tire specifications in documentation; agricultural tires require proof of end-use for potential exemptions

Avoid classifying as passenger tires (4011.10); common pitfall is overlooking tread design leading to incorrect duty rates
