4012.13.00.50 - Other

This HTS classification, 4012.13.00.50, specifically covers retreaded pneumatic tires of rubber that are intended for use on aircraft, but are not specifically designated for civil aircraft applications. The primary characteristic for inclusion here is that the tires have been retreaded, meaning they have undergone a process to restore their tread and/or sidewalls to a usable condition after initial wear. The application on an aircraft is the defining factor, distinguishing them from tires used on other vehicles.

The crucial distinction for this subcategory lies in its exclusion of tires specifically classified under 4012.13.00.10, which are explicitly for use in civil aircraft. Therefore, this category is primarily for retreaded aircraft tires destined for military or other non-civilian aviation purposes. Both categories fall under the broader umbrella of retreaded tires for aircraft, but the intended operational use differentiates their precise HTS placement.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. The classification is complete once the criteria of being a retreaded pneumatic rubber tire, used on an aircraft, and not being for civil aircraft are met.
