Import Tips
• Include tire specification sheets showing 'LT' designation and radial construction to differentiate from passenger or heavy truck tires
• Ensure retreader is certified under NHTSA band identification rules; missing marks lead to CBP holds
• Declare exact size and ply rating accurately, as mismatches can trigger audits for undervaluation or wrong subheading
