4012.13.00.10 - For use in civil aircraft

This HTS classification, 4012.13.00.10, specifically identifies retreaded pneumatic tires of rubber that are designed and intended for use on civil aircraft. These are not new tires but rather used pneumatic tires that have undergone a re-treading process to restore their usability. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the specific application in civil aviation, distinguishing them from tires intended for other modes of transport or general use.

Compared to its sibling category, 4012.13.00.50 (Other), this classification is exclusively for aircraft tires. The "Other" category would encompass retreaded pneumatic tires of a kind used on aircraft that do not meet the specific criteria for civil aircraft use, or potentially retreaded tires for other vehicle types if the parent category allowed for broader inclusion. However, within the "Of a kind used on aircraft" context, this distinction highlights the precise aviation application.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification of retreaded pneumatic tires for civil aircraft. Classification within this code relies heavily on the intended use and documented suitability for civil aviation applications. This may involve examining tire markings, certifications, and purchasing documentation to confirm their origin and intended purpose.
