HS Code for Agricultural tires

HS code 401170 is specifically allocated for new pneumatic tires designed for use on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines. This classification distinguishes these specialized tires from those intended for passenger cars, trucks, or other industrial vehicles. Agricultural and forestry tires are characterized by their robust construction, deep and aggressive tread patterns, and specific rubber compounds optimized for superior traction, durability, and load-bearing capacity in challenging off-road, field, or forest environments. The "new pneumatic" aspect ensures that only unused, air-filled rubber tires are included, excluding retreaded or solid tires. This precise categorization reflects the unique design and functional requirements of tires for these demanding applications.

Products Included

• Tractor tires (front and rear)
• Combine harvester tires
• Sprayer tires (e.g., for self-propelled sprayers)
• Forestry machine tires (e.g., for skidders, forwarders)
• Implement tires (for trailers, balers, seeders)
• Flotation tires designed for agricultural use to minimize soil compaction

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications for agricultural tires include HS 401120 (New pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on buses or lorries) and HS 401110 (New pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on motor cars), which are for road transport vehicles and passenger cars, respectively, and not suitable for agricultural or forestry machinery. Another potential error is classifying them under HS 4012 (Retreaded or used pneumatic tyres; solid or cushion tyres, interchangeable tyre treads and tyre flaps), which covers tires that are not new, or different types of tires (solid/cushion) that do not fit the "new pneumatic" criteria of 401170.

FAQ

What is the HS code for agricultural tires?

The HS code for new pneumatic tires specifically designed for agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines is 401170.

Are all new pneumatic tires classified under the same HS code?

No. HS codes for new pneumatic tires are highly specific, differentiating based on the type of vehicle or machine they are designed for. For example, there are distinct codes for passenger cars (401110), buses or lorries (401120), aircraft (401130), motorcycles (401140), and agricultural/forestry vehicles (401170).
