Of a kind used on vehicles, including tractors, for the on-highway transport of passengers or goods
Analysis
HTS 4012.20.15 covers of a kind used on vehicles, including tractors, for the on-highway transport of passengers or goods under heading 4012 (retreaded or used pneumatic tires of rubber; solid or cushion tires, tire treads and tire…).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 39% of the 142 tariff lines in chapter 40. 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.
The other lines in the same group are 4012.20.10 (used pneumatic tires: aircraft, duty-free), 4012.20.45 (designed for tractors provided for in subheadings…, duty-free), 4012.20.60 (of a kind used on vehicles, including tractors, for the…, duty-free) and 4012.20.80 (other: other, duty-free).
All 4 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
