4011.70.00

Analysis

HTS 4011.70.00 covers of a kind used on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines 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.

Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 4%. Compared with 4011.90.20 (other: radial), which pays 4%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 4 percentage points.

For statistics it divides in two: 4011.70.00.10 for having a "herring-bone" or similar tread and 4011.70.00.50 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 39% of the 142 tariff lines in chapter 40, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. 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.
