4011.80.10.10 - Having a rim size not exceeding 61 cm

This HTS classification, 4011.80.10.10, specifically identifies new pneumatic tires made of rubber that are designed for use on construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles and machinery. A key defining characteristic of tires within this category is their "herring-bone" or similar tread pattern. This tread design is typically employed to enhance traction and stability in challenging off-road environments encountered by these specialized vehicles.

This subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 4011.80.10.20, by the size of the rim diameter. While both classify pneumatic tires for industrial vehicles with a herring-bone or similar tread, this specific code applies to tires with a rim size not exceeding 61 cm. This distinction is crucial for importers and exporters to accurately declare their goods, as different tariff rates or regulations may apply based on this physical dimension.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 4011.80.10.10 is definitive for pneumatic tires of rubber, used on construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles, featuring a herring-bone or similar tread, and having a rim size of 61 cm or less. Practical application of this code relies on the confirmation of these physical and intended use criteria.
