CHAPTER

In plain English

This heading covers inner tubes made of rubber. The subheadings separate these items based on the type of vehicle they are designed for. One category includes tubes for motorcars, buses, and lorries, while another covers those for bicycles. Any other rubber inner tubes not mentioned in the previous categories fall into the remaining group.

Chapter 40 classification notes

Tyres are the highest-value items. Anti-dumping duties common on Chinese-origin tyres in US and EU. Retread tyres classified separately from new tyres.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Rubber-coated textiles may belong in Chapter 59 (coated fabrics) rather than Chapter 40. Distinction depends on whether rubber or textile gives the essential character.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
