Last updated: September 2026 dataAircraft tires face a dual classification path: those certified for civil aviation enter under 4011300010 and may qualify for duty-free treatment under civil aircraft agreements, while tires for non-civil aircraft (military, experimental) fall under 4011300050. Thailand is the leading US supplier, with France and Japan also significant — reflecting the global footprint of major aerospace tire manufacturers such as Michelin and Bridgestone. These tires must meet stringent airworthiness standards set by the FAA or equivalent foreign authority, and documentation of conformance is typically required alongside standard customs entry paperwork. Classification hinges on whether the tire is type-certificated for civil aviation use.

Importers typically rely on the manufacturer's part number, FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval, or equivalent airworthiness certification to establish that a tire is 'of a kind used on civil aircraft.' Commercial invoices and technical data sheets referencing the applicable TSO or type certificate are the standard supporting documents for claiming the civil aircraft classification under 4011300010.
France and Japan are home to major global aerospace tire manufacturers whose products are specified by aircraft OEMs and airlines worldwide. Their presence reflects brand-driven procurement rather than cost-driven sourcing — airlines and MRO operators often must use OEM-approved tire brands regardless of origin, which concentrates supply among a small number of technically qualified producers.
