Analysis
HTS 4011.30.00 covers of a kind used on aircraft under heading 4011 (new pneumatic tires, of rubber). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in number of items.
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 4011.90.20 (other: radial) at 4%, a difference of 4 points on the customs value.
For statistics it divides in two: 4011.30.00.10 for for use in civil aircraft and 4011.30.00.50 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 39% of the 142 tariff lines in chapter 40 that are also free. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.
