Last updated: April 2026 dataMotorcycle tires are classified by their intended two-wheeled vehicle application and are further differentiated commercially by speed rating, profile (aspect ratio), and tread compound — distinctions that matter for both customs classification and end-market positioning. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports from certain major producing countries, and importers should verify current applicability by origin. The aftermarket segment is particularly active, with specialty sport, touring, and off-road compounds sourced from a geographically diverse supplier base.

Classification depends on the vehicle type for which the tire is designed and marketed. Tires for three-wheeled vehicles or ATVs may fall under a different heading depending on their construction and the applicable tariff schedule notes. Importers should obtain a binding ruling from CBP if the intended vehicle type is ambiguous, rather than assuming the motorcycle heading applies.
At the US HTS level, motorcycle tire subheadings may be further differentiated by rim diameter and cross-section width. Importers should confirm the precise HTS subheading with a licensed customs broker using the tire's technical specifications, as misclassification between closely related subheadings can result in underpayment or overpayment of duties.
