4011.80.80.10 - Having a rim size not exceeding 61 cm

This HTS classification, 4011.80.80.10, specifically covers new pneumatic tires manufactured from rubber that are intended for use on construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles and machinery, and importantly, possess a rim diameter not exceeding 61 centimeters (24 inches). These tires are characterized by their robust construction designed to withstand demanding operational environments common in heavy-duty applications, such as bulldozers, excavators, forklifts, and other specialized industrial equipment.

The critical distinguishing factor for this category is its rim size limitation. This sub-classification differentiates itself from its sibling category, 4011.80.80.20, which covers tires with a rim diameter exceeding 61 centimeters. Therefore, the physical dimension of the tire's internal diameter, where it interfaces with the wheel rim, is the primary criterion for assigning goods to either of these sibling classifications.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, it does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the combination of the tire's intended application (construction, mining, industrial handling vehicles), its construction as a new pneumatic tire of rubber, and its specific rim size of 61 cm or less. Importers and exporters must carefully measure and confirm the rim diameter to ensure accurate declaration and compliance with customs regulations.
