U.S. imports of new pneumatic rubber tires, nes, with herringbone or similar tread (SITC 62551) totaled $40.5M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.
Importers of New Pneumatic Rubber Tires, NES, with Herringbone or Similar Tread paid $4.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $40.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. New Pneumatic Rubber Tires, NES, with Herringbone or Similar Tread imports of $40.5M in April 2026 ran 10% below the year-to-date monthly average of $45.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHerringbone and similar aggressive-tread pneumatic tires — those not elsewhere specified in the passenger car, truck, aircraft, motorcycle, or bicycle headings — are primarily used on agricultural tractors, construction equipment, and off-road industrial vehicles where self-cleaning traction in soft terrain is essential. The "not elsewhere specified" residual nature of 62551 means it captures a wide range of specialty tires, including those for forklifts, skid-steer loaders, and specialty farm implements, making precise end-use documentation important for correct classification. Importers should be aware that the tread-pattern criterion (herringbone or similar) is the controlling feature, not the vehicle type alone.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A herringbone tread features a V-shaped or chevron lug pattern designed to channel mud and debris away from the contact patch, providing traction in soft or loose terrain. 'Similar' treads are those with comparable self-cleaning, directional lug geometries. Tires with conventional symmetrical or asymmetric road treads would not qualify, even if the vehicle application is agricultural or industrial.
Under SITC 62551, the tread pattern — herringbone or similar — is the primary classification criterion for tires not elsewhere specified, so the multi-use nature of the tire does not disqualify it from this heading. However, at the US HTS 10-digit level, additional distinctions by rim size or vehicle type may apply, and importers should verify the correct subheading with a licensed customs broker using the tire's full technical specifications.
