New Pneumatic Rubber Tires for Motorcycles

Potentially, yes — the heading covers tires 'of a kind used on motorcycles,' and CBP has generally interpreted this to include scooters and mopeds when the tire's design, load rating, and speed rating are consistent with those vehicle types. However, very small tires designed exclusively for low-speed mopeds may be scrutinized, and importers should be prepared to provide product specifications and end-use documentation. Consult a licensed customs broker for a binding ruling if classification is uncertain.

Because all motorcycle tires collapse into one 10-digit line (4011400000), any trade-remedy order covering this line applies uniformly regardless of tire size or construction. Importers cannot shift to a different subheading to avoid an order, as is sometimes possible with passenger car tires where multiple rim-diameter lines exist. Checking the current scope of any applicable orders against the specific country of origin is therefore especially important here.
