Overview
This HTS category, 4012.20.10.10, specifically classifies used pneumatic tires made of rubber that are designated for use in civil aircraft. These tires are characterized by their prior service in aircraft operations and are distinguished by their intended application within the civil aviation sector. The classification hinges on the tire being a used pneumatic tire and its ultimate purpose being for civil aircraft.
Unlike its sibling category, 4012.20.10.50 ("Other"), which encompasses used pneumatic tires not specifically intended for civil aircraft, this classification is narrowly defined by its application. This ensures that used aircraft tires are appropriately categorized for import and export purposes, reflecting their specialized nature and the stringent requirements associated with aviation safety and maintenance.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. The defining criteria remain the material composition (rubber), the condition (used pneumatic), and the explicit intended use (civil aircraft). Therefore, any used pneumatic tire meeting these criteria will fall under this specific HTS code.
