Product classification
HS code for Agricultural tires: 4011.70
Rubber, new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines.
Classification of agricultural tires under HS 4011.70
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.

Codes often confused with 4011.70
Common mistake. 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.

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).
