What HS 4011.10 covers
This HS code covers brand new pneumatic tyres specifically designed for passenger vehicles, encompassing everything from standard sedans and SUVs to high-performance sports cars and racing vehicles. These tyres are a massive segment in international trade, driven by both the automotive original equipment (OE) market and the aftermarket replacement sector. Major importers are countries with large vehicle populations and significant automotive manufacturing industries, such as the USA, Germany, China, and Japan, as well as developing nations experiencing rapid motorization. Exporters are typically global tyre manufacturing giants located in countries like China, South Korea, Japan, and various European nations. Key trade considerations include tyre performance characteristics (e.g., grip, fuel efficiency, wet braking), compliance with regional safety and environmental regulations (e.g., EU tyre labeling, DOT standards), and brand reputation.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
