Import Tips

Verify tire matches exact tractor models in 8701.91.10 etc.; mismatch risks reclassification to higher-duty codes

Used tires exempt from DOT standards but require proof of roadworthiness and no hazardous waste status

Document usage history to avoid scrutiny as 'waste' under environmental regs; include tread depth measurements
