HS Code 4013.20 – Rubber; inner tubes, of a kind used on bicycles
HS code 4013.20 is the 6-digit subheading for rubber, inner tubes, of a kind used on bicycles. It is used for bicycle inner tubes, mountain bike inner tubes, road bike inner tubes, BMX inner tubes and electric bike inner tubes.
What HS 4013.20 covers
This HS code specifically covers rubber inner tubes designed for bicycles. These are crucial components for pneumatic bicycle tires, providing the air chamber that supports the rider's weight and absorbs shocks, enabling a smooth and efficient ride. International trade is driven by the global demand for bicycles, ranging from commuter bikes to high-performance racing models and electric bikes. Manufacturers export these tubes to bicycle assembly plants, parts distributors, and retail chains worldwide. Importers are typically bicycle manufacturers, wholesalers, and repair shops. Key considerations include valve type (Presta, Schrader), material quality (butyl rubber is common for durability), weight (especially for performance cycling), and puncture resistance, catering to the diverse needs of cyclists and different cycling disciplines. The market is influenced by cycling trends and global bicycle production.

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).
