Frequently Asked Questions
What specific customs inspection risks apply to imports of new truck and bus tires under HTS 4011.20?
The primary risk is classification verification to ensure they are not misdeclared as radial tires, which fall under HTS 4011.20.0010, versus bias-ply tires under 4011.20.0050, as the duty rates differ. Inspectors will also scrutinize the country of origin marking (e.g., DOT sidewall codes) for anti-dumping or countervailing duty orders targeting specific countries like China, Thailand, or Vietnam.
What additional duties or fees apply when importing new truck and bus tires under HTS 401120 into the United States?
In addition to the 4.5% general duty rate, imports of new pneumatic truck and bus tires are subject to two primary additional fees. First, a Section 301 tariff of 25% applies to tires of Chinese origin. Second, a Rubber Tire Fee of $0.0945 per kilogram (approximately $0.0429 per pound) is levied to fund tire recycling programs.
