Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide aircraft registration logs linking tire to specific plane for end-use proof; GA tires often misclassified as motorcycle tires
• Ensure no vulcanizing agents added post-use that could shift to primary forms under notes 5(a)
• Declare exact dimensions and ply ratings; pitfall is undervaluing based on wear without appraisal
