HS 401110: Observed Importer Names and Product Descriptions

The available input for HS 401110 does not include the official tariff definition. What it does provide is a focused set of real-world filing activity: a list of importer names and a separate list of product descriptions that appear in records associated with this code. This page describes those observations and explains how they can be used as a screening reference—not as a replacement for official classification rules.

Importer names observed under this code

The records list the following importer names:

• HANKOOK TIRE AMERICA CORP.
• KUMHO TIRE U.S.A. INC
• CHENG SHIN RUBBER USA INC.
• TIRECO INC.
• SAILUN TIRE USA CORP.

These names are not paired in the input with individual product descriptions. They should be read as a group of importers who appear under HS 401110 in the available data.

Product descriptions in the same record set

Separately, the available records include these product descriptions for HS 401110:

• TIRES
• TIRE
• KUMHO BRAND TIRES

Because the input provides the descriptions without linking each one to a specific importer, readers should treat them as examples of how this code appears in actual filings, not as statements about any single company’s customs declarations.

How these observations can help

When you are screening a tire product for HS 401110, comparing your item against the product descriptions observed in the data can serve as an early check. The presence of well-known tire importers in the same code may also indicate how large operators commonly approach their filings. However, historical filing activity is not a confirmation that a classification is correct, and following another importer’s example does not by itself reduce misclassification risk. It only provides a starting point for further verification.

A practical use is to ask: does my product match the simple descriptions “TIRES” or “TIRE,” or does it have features that require a different code? If the product is a branded passenger tire, the “KUMHO BRAND TIRES” description suggests that at least some branded passenger tire products have been filed under 401110 in this data. Still, you should confirm against the official rules for your jurisdiction and the product’s exact specifications.

Limits to keep in mind

This page cannot provide the official definition of HS 401110 because the source material did not include it. The importer and product lists are observational and limited to the records supplied. They do not prove that the filings were accepted, audited, or classified correctly. No claim is made about market share, importer size, or the completeness of the dataset.
