Chapter 40 classification notes

Tyres are the highest-value items. Anti-dumping duties common on Chinese-origin tyres in US and EU. Retread tyres classified separately from new tyres.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Rubber-coated textiles may belong in Chapter 59 (coated fabrics) rather than Chapter 40. Distinction depends on whether rubber or textile gives the essential character.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
