HS code for Tractor tires: 4011.70
Rubber, new pneumatic tyres, of a kind used on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines.
Classification of tractor tires under HS 4011.70
Tractor tires are classified under HS code 4011.70. This classification falls under Chapter 40 (Rubber and articles thereof) and heading 4011, which covers new pneumatic tires made of vulcanized rubber. Sub-heading 4011.70 is specifically designated for tires of a kind used on agricultural or forestry vehicles and machines. The classification is based on the physical characteristics of the tire, such as the tread design (often featuring high lugs for traction in soil), the ply rating, and the size, which must correspond to agricultural or forestry equipment. These tires are engineered for high torque and low-speed applications, distinguishing them from high-speed highway tires. The Harmonized System uses the "intended use" as a primary classifier for tires, provided the physical characteristics support that use.

Codes often confused with 4011.70
Common mistake. Tractor tires are frequently misclassified under 4011.20 (tires for buses or lorries) or 4011.80 (tires for construction, mining, or industrial handling vehicles). The distinction is usually found in the tread pattern and the load/speed index. Furthermore, used tractor tires must not be classified here; they belong under 4012.19 or 4012.20, depending on whether they are retreaded or simply used.

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).
