What HS 4011.50 covers
This HS code covers new pneumatic tyres specifically designed for bicycles, encompassing a wide range from road bikes and mountain bikes to city bikes and electric bicycles. These tyres are engineered for factors like rolling resistance, grip, puncture protection, and weight, catering to diverse cycling disciplines and user needs. International trade in bicycle tyres is significant, fueled by the global popularity of cycling for sport, recreation, commuting, and environmental reasons. Major importers are countries with large cycling populations, strong bicycle manufacturing industries, or significant retail markets for cycling accessories, such as Germany, the USA, China, and the Netherlands. Exporters are often specialized tyre manufacturers, with strong presences in countries like China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Germany. Key trade considerations include tyre size (diameter and width), tread pattern for different terrains, material compounds for performance and durability, and compliance with quality standards. The market is influenced by cycling trends, urban planning, and environmental policies promoting sustainable transport.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
