U.S. imports of retreaded tires of rubber for aircraft (HS 401213) totaled $1.2M in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAircraft retreaded tires occupy a narrow but technically demanding classification, split at the 10-digit level between civil aircraft use (4012130010) and all other aircraft applications (4012130050) — a distinction that drives both duty treatment and FAA/airworthiness documentation requirements. Retreading for aviation must meet far stricter performance standards than automotive retreads, and importers should be prepared to demonstrate conformance with applicable airworthiness directives. Mexico leads US supply under this heading, followed by Japan and Thailand, reflecting the geographic concentration of aerospace MRO and tire retreading capacity.

The US schedule separates retreaded aircraft tires into civil aircraft (4012130010) and non-civil aircraft such as military applications (4012130050). Civil aircraft entries may qualify for duty treatment under the Civil Aircraft Agreement, so correct end-use documentation is critical. Misclassification between these two lines can result in duty underpayment or overpayment.
Beyond standard customs entry documents, importers generally need airworthiness or conformance certificates demonstrating the retreaded tire meets applicable aviation authority standards. If the tires are destined for civil aircraft, evidence supporting civil aircraft end-use may be required to claim any applicable duty benefit. Consult a licensed customs broker for current entry requirements.
