Import Tips
• Verify tire condition documentation to confirm 'used' status and avoid misclassification as new tires under 4011
• Ensure DOT markings are intact for regulatory compliance; missing markings may trigger customs holds
• Declare tread depth accurately to prevent undervaluation penalties during inspection
