Of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars): other

Analysis

HTS 4011.10.50 covers of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars): other under heading 4011 (new pneumatic tires, of rubber).

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 4%. The costliest confusion would be with 4011.90.10 (having a "herring-bone" or similar tread) at duty-free, a difference of 3.4 points on the customs value.

The general duty rate is 3.4% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 40 (72nd percentile of 142 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $340 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.

Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3.4%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
