Last updated: July 2026 dataUsed pneumatic rubber tires span a wide range of vehicle types — from civil and non-civil aircraft (4012201010, 4012201050) to on-highway transport vehicles (4012201500), agricultural tractors (4012204500), and passenger/goods vehicles (4012206000, 4012208000) — making precise end-use identification essential at entry. The used-tire trade is also subject to environmental and waste-management scrutiny in many destination markets, and some US states impose additional restrictions on imported used tires independent of federal customs requirements. Japan is the dominant supplier to the US under this heading, with Thailand and Canada also significant sources.

The US tariff schedule under this heading breaks out used tires by specific vehicle application — aircraft (civil vs. non-civil), on-highway transport, agricultural tractors under subheading 8701.90.10, and general NESOI lines. Each line can carry a different duty rate, and misidentifying the intended vehicle use is a common classification error. Importers should confirm the tire's original equipment specification and intended reuse application before filing entry.
Yes. Beyond federal customs requirements, used tire imports may be subject to EPA regulations regarding waste tires, and individual US states have their own restrictions on the importation, storage, and disposal of used tires. Importers should review both federal and destination-state requirements before committing to a shipment, as non-compliance can result in refusal of entry or disposal costs.
