Last updated: August 2026 dataPneumatic rubber tires not classified under more specific vehicle-type headings — such as those for motorcycles, bicycles, or passenger cars — fall into this residual category, which captures a wide range of specialty and off-road applications. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports of Chinese-origin tires in this segment, making origin documentation a critical compliance step for importers. Load rating, rim diameter, and intended vehicle type are the key specification variables that determine correct classification and separate these tires from more narrowly defined headings.

Classification hinges on the tire's intended vehicle application and physical specifications — rim diameter, load index, and speed rating. Tires designed for passenger cars, trucks, buses, aircraft, or bicycles are directed to their own dedicated headings; only tires that do not fit those defined categories fall into the NES residual heading. A licensed customs broker can help confirm correct classification based on the manufacturer's technical data sheet.
Yes. Pneumatic rubber tires originating in China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs, and importers should verify current applicability by HTS subheading at the time of entry, as coverage and rates can change. Working with a licensed customs broker to confirm the applicable trade-remedy exposure before shipment is strongly recommended.
