4011.80.20.10 - Having a rim size not exceeding 61 cm

This HTS category, 4011.80.20.10, specifically classifies new pneumatic tires made of rubber that are designed for use on construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles and machinery, and that have a rim size not exceeding 61 centimeters. These tires are typically robust and engineered to withstand demanding operational environments, offering durability and specific performance characteristics required for heavy-duty applications.

This particular classification is distinguished from its sibling, 4011.80.20.20, based on a precise physical dimension: the rim size. While both categories cover pneumatic tires for similar industrial vehicles, 4011.80.20.10 applies to those with a rim diameter of 61 cm or less, whereas 4011.80.20.20 covers tires with a rim diameter greater than 61 cm. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declaration and duty assessment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 4011.80.20.10 hinges entirely on the tire's intended application on construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles and machines, its pneumatic nature, its construction from rubber, and the specified rim size limitation of not exceeding 61 cm.
