Last updated: April 2026 dataSolid and cushion rubber tires — used in forklifts, industrial vehicles, and heavy equipment — share this heading with interchangeable tire treads, tire flaps, and bicycle rim strips, making it one of the more diverse groupings in Chapter 40. Natural rubber bicycle rim strips (4012903000) and their synthetic counterparts (4012907000) are classified separately from solid tires (4012901000) and interchangeable treads and flaps (4012906000, 4012909000), so material composition is a key classification variable. Sri Lanka leads US supply under this heading, with Mexico and Brazil also prominent sources.

Interchangeable tire treads under 401290 are separate tread components sold as replacement parts, not yet applied to a casing. Retreaded tires (heading 4012, subheadings 401213 and 401219) are complete tires that have already had a new tread bonded to a used casing. The distinction is the state of the article at the time of importation — a loose tread strip classifies here, while a finished retreaded tire classifies under the retreaded tire subheadings.
Yes. The US schedule explicitly separates natural rubber bicycle rim strips (4012903000) from those made of other rubber (4012907000). Importers must confirm the rubber type used in production, as natural rubber and synthetic rubber rim strips fall under different tariff lines with potentially different duty rates.
