BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Characteristics of new pneumatic tyres for bicycles

CN code 401150 covers new pneumatic tyres for all types of bicycles: city, road, mountain (MTB), gravel, BMX and electric bicycles (e-bikes) with pedal-assist systems. These tyres are produced from natural or synthetic rubber reinforced with nylon or aramid cords, and are available in a wide range of sizes - from small 16-inch wheels used on folding bikes to wide 29-inch tyres for mountain bikes. The tread pattern may be slick, semi-slick or heavily knobbed depending on the intended use. Tyres for electric bicycles may feature reinforced sidewalls to improve puncture resistance. All tyres covered by this tariff heading must be brand new to qualify for this classification.

Import requirements and EU regulatory compliance

Importing new bicycle tyres into the European Union requires lodging a customs declaration with full commercial documentation. Bicycle tyres are not subject to the EU tyre labelling regulation (which applies to motor vehicle tyres), but must meet the general product safety requirements applicable in the EU market under the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) and, where relevant, regulations applicable to electric bicycles. Customs value is determined on the basis of the transaction value in accordance with Art. 70 UCC, including transport and insurance costs to the point of entry into the EU customs territory. The importer should verify whether the country of export benefits from tariff preferences under any free trade agreements concluded by the EU.

Tariff classification of bicycle tyres - key criteria

The principal criterion for classification under CN code 401150 is that the tyre is designed for a bicycle - a two-wheeled vehicle propelled by human muscle power or with electric pedal-assist. Tyres for prams or wheelchairs may require separate classification under subheading 401190. When importing large consignments of bicycle tyres from Asia, it is advisable to check current trade defence measures in TARIC for the country of origin. The technical specification should state the tyre size (e.g. 700×25C or 29×2.25), tread type, maximum pressure and valve type (presta or schrader). Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling can resolve any doubts regarding the classification of specialist bicycle tyres.

Tyres New bicycle tyres - import and - labelling and import

Tyres classified under CN code 4011 50 are subject to Regulation (EU) 2020/740 on tyre labelling, requiring EPREL database registration and energy labels showing fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise classes. New tyres must comply with UNECE Regulations R30 (passenger) or R54 (commercial). Import requires type approval, certificate of conformity and customs documentation confirming country of production. Anti-dumping duties may apply from certain countries.

Frequently asked questions

Are tyres for electric bicycles (e-bikes) classified under CN code 401150?
Yes, pneumatic tyres for electric bicycles with pedal-assist (pedelec) systems are classified under CN code 401150, because such vehicles remain bicycles within the meaning of the tariff nomenclature. The condition is that the electric motor only assists pedalling and is not the sole source of propulsion. Tyres for electric two-wheeled vehicles that operate without pedalling may be subject to a different classification.
What technical information must be provided in the customs declaration when importing bicycle tyres?
The customs declaration and accompanying documentation should state: tyre size (e.g. 700c x 28, 26 x 2.10), tread type (slick, semi-slick, knobby), material (natural or synthetic rubber), maximum permitted pressure, load rating, intended use (road, MTB, BMX) and country of manufacture. This information helps confirm correct classification under CN code 401150 and determines the applicable customs duty rate.
Are tubed and tubeless bicycle tyres classified in the same way?
Yes, both bicycle tyres intended for use with an inner tube and tubeless tyres are classified under CN code 401150, provided they are new and pneumatic. The tubeless technology does not alter the tariff classification - the decisive factors are that the tyre is designed for a bicycle, that it is brand new and that it is inflated with air.
Do tyres CN 4011 50 require EPREL database registration?
Yes, tyres CN 4011 50 require EPREL database registration and EU energy label under Regulation (EU) 2020/740. The label must show fuel efficiency, wet grip and noise classes.
