Bontrager Presta 29er MTB Inner Tube from Japan
Bontrager's Presta valve inner tube for 29-inch mountain bike tires is made from thick butyl rubber for enhanced puncture protection on rough terrain. It fits tubeless-ready rims while serving as a traditional liner. This qualifies for HTS 4013.20.00.00 as a rubber inner tube purpose-built for bicycles.

Import Tips
• Document thickness and puncture resistance features specific to MTB use to distinguish from automotive tubes
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial non-bicycle use, which could lead to 4013.90 reclassification
• Confirm vulcanized rubber status; unvulcanized forms fall under primary forms in 4002
