Last updated: April 2026 dataCamel-back strips—pre-formed unvulcanized rubber extrusions applied to worn tire casings during the retreading process—are a specialized product with a narrow end-use that drives their classification under 4006100000. Mexico is the leading US supplier, followed by Brazil and China; the presence of Chinese-origin goods in this category means importers should verify whether Section 301 tariffs apply to their specific shipments. The retreading industry's economics are closely tied to commercial trucking and aviation fleets, where casing reuse significantly reduces per-mile tire costs.

A camel-back strip is specifically designed and profiled for application to tire casings in the retreading process, which is the basis for its dedicated heading 400610.
