U.S. imports of new pneumatic rubber tires for agricultural or forestry vehicles (HS 401170) totaled $29.1M in April 2026, traded with 34 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAgricultural and forestry tires are subdivided by tread pattern — herringbone (chevron) versus all other types — under lines 4011700010 and 4011700050, reflecting the functional importance of tread design for traction in field and forest conditions. India leads US supply under this heading, with Spain and Vietnam also significant sources, a mix that spans both large-scale commodity tire production and European specialty agricultural fitments. These tires are typically large, heavy, and shipped in small quantities per container, which affects freight economics and port-of-entry handling. Importers should confirm tread pattern classification from manufacturer specifications, as the herringbone/other distinction directly determines the applicable 10-digit line.

A herringbone (also called chevron) tread consists of V-shaped lugs arranged symmetrically around the tire centerline, designed to channel mud and debris outward for self-cleaning traction. CBP generally follows the manufacturer's tread designation, but importers should retain technical drawings or product data sheets confirming the tread geometry, particularly for tires with hybrid or transitional lug patterns that could be argued either way.
India has developed a substantial agricultural tire manufacturing base — anchored by producers such as Apollo Tyres and BKT — that competes effectively on price for standard farm fitments used on tractors and implements. Indian manufacturers have also invested in wider size ranges and specialty forestry patterns, broadening their addressable share of the US market beyond entry-level commodity sizes.
