Import Tips

• Verify retread certification from programs like Bandag or Michelin to ensure compliance with DOT standards and avoid rejection at customs

• Provide detailed documentation on tire size, load rating, and retread process; common pitfalls include mislabeling as new tires under 4011

• Confirm radial ply construction via cross-section specs, as bias-ply falls under a different subheading
