Section VII: Plastics and articles thereof; rubber and articles thereof · Chapter 40: Rubber and articles thereof · Heading 4013: Inner tubes, of rubber
Why this code
The product is a rubber inflatable tube that fits inside a bicycle tyre to hold air pressure, which is the heading 4013 description of inner tubes of rubber. Subheading 401320 covers inner tubes of a kind used on bicycles, and the product is stated to be intended for bicycles, so no other subheading applies. Heading 4011 covers tyres, not tubes. Heading 4016 is residual and less specific than 4013 under GRI 3(a). Chapter 40 Note 2 does not exclude the goods, and the product is not printed or otherwise excluded by Section VII Note 2. Material composition and new or used status do not change the subheading.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 3(a), GRI 6, Chapter 40 Note 1, Section VII Note 2.
