HS-4 · Heading

4012 — Retreaded or used pneumatic tyres of rubber; solid or cushion tyres, tyre treads and tyre flaps, of rubber

Chapter 40: Rubber and articles thereof

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 4012 when importing or exporting retreaded or used pneumatic tyres made of rubber. For example, if you are shipping retreaded tyres for motor cars, this heading applies directly to your products.

When deciding between subheadings, consider the end use of the tyre. If your shipment includes retreaded tyres specifically for motor buses or lorries, you should classify them under HS-6 401212. However, if they are for motor cars, use HS-6 401211 instead.

If you have retreaded tyres that do not fit into the categories for cars, buses, or aircraft, then HS-6 401219 is the appropriate choice. This subheading covers all other retreaded tyres not specified elsewhere.

For used pneumatic tyres that are not retreaded, you will use HS-6 401220. This is distinct from retreaded tyres and is specifically for tyres that have been previously used without retreading.
