HS Code 4011.90 – Rubber; new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on light commercial vehicles
HS code 4011.90 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on light commercial vehicles. It is used for commercial van tires, light truck tires, delivery vehicle tires, cargo van tires and pickup truck tires.
What HS 4011.90 covers
This HS code covers new pneumatic tires specifically for light commercial vehicles, such as vans, pickups, and smaller delivery trucks. These tires are a critical component in the logistics and service industries, supporting everything from last-mile delivery to small business operations. International trade involves a dynamic flow from major tire manufacturing hubs to countries with significant light commercial vehicle fleets. Exporters are typically global tire brands, while importers include vehicle manufacturers for original equipment, automotive parts distributors, and fleet operators. Key considerations for these tires include their load rating, durability to withstand frequent stops and starts, fuel efficiency, and all-weather performance. The market is heavily influenced by the growth of e-commerce, urban delivery demands, and the overall health of small and medium-sized enterprises.

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).
