The dominant issue was whether imported new pneumatic rubber tyres with tread patterns EZ-330, CB919, CB905, and CB332 were classifiable as OTR mining tyres under CTH 4011 80 00 or as tyres for buses/lorries under 4011 20. Applying GIR 1 read with GIR 3(a), the authority relied on the tyres' technical characteristics-high tread depth, low speed indices, high load indices, bar-lug/block tread design, reinforced cut- and abrasion-resistant sidewalls-and corroborative technical catalogue and engineer certification establishing exclusive off-highway mining use. Consequently, classification under 4011 20 was excluded and the tyres were held classifiable under 4011 80 00. - AAR
