Overview
This HTS classification, 4011.50.00.00, specifically designates new pneumatic tires manufactured from rubber that are intended for use on bicycles. These tires are distinguished by their design and construction, optimized for the typical weight, speed, and terrain encountered by bicycles. This includes tires for road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, and other types of bicycles, regardless of whether they are for recreational or competitive use.
The primary differentiator of this category lies in its specific application. Unlike sibling categories such as those for motor cars (4011.10), buses/trucks (4011.20), aircraft (4011.30.00), motorcycles (4011.40.00.00), or agricultural vehicles (4011.70.00), the tires classified under 4011.50.00.00 are exclusively designed and sized for bicycles. The physical dimensions, tread patterns, and overall construction reflect the unique requirements of bicycle propulsion and steering.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this classification. Therefore, classification under 4011.50.00.00 depends entirely on confirming that the pneumatic tire is indeed new, made of rubber, and specifically intended for use on a bicycle. Any deviation in material (e.g., primarily plastic components) or intended vehicle type would necessitate classification under a different HTS heading or subheading.
