4011.20.50.10 - Light truck 🖩

This HTS category, 4011.20.50.10, specifically classifies new pneumatic tires made of rubber that are designed for use on light trucks and are intended for on-the-highway applications. These tires are characterized by their construction and intended service environment, distinguishing them from tires designed for heavier vehicles or off-road use. The classification hinges on the tire's intended application for light commercial vehicles operating primarily on paved roads.

At this level, this code is distinguished from its sibling category, 4011.20.50.20, which covers "Other" on-the-highway tires for buses or trucks. While both fall under the broader "on-the-highway" designation, 4011.20.50.10 is specifically for *light* trucks, implying a difference in load capacity, size, or construction that is not covered by the more general "Other" category at this specific sub-level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this point is definitive for light truck tires intended for on-the-highway use. Importers and exporters should confirm that the tires in question are indeed new, pneumatic, made of rubber, and specifically manufactured for light trucks operating on paved roads to ensure accurate classification under this code.
