Overview
This HTS classification, 4011.90.10.50, covers new pneumatic tires made of rubber that do not fall under more specific subheadings. These tires are characterized by their "herring-bone" or similar tread patterns, which are designed to provide enhanced traction and stability, particularly in varied terrain conditions. The "herring-bone" pattern is a distinctive V-shaped or chevron design, often seen on tires intended for off-road or demanding applications.
This category is distinct from its sibling 4011.90.10.10, which specifically enumerates tires used on golf carts, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and for turf, lawn, garden, and trailer applications. While both subheadings fall under the broader category of "Other" new pneumatic tires with specialized treads, this particular code is for those with a "herring-bone" or similar tread pattern that are not exclusively destined for the applications listed in the sibling category. The distinction hinges on the specific end-use application outlined in the sibling category versus the tread design as the primary defining characteristic here.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, the classification relies heavily on the accurate identification of the "herring-bone" or similar tread pattern and ensuring the tire is not specifically intended for the aforementioned golf cart, ATV, turf, lawn, garden, or trailer uses. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the tread design and intended application of the pneumatic tires to ensure correct classification.
