| Total Weight | 37,160.0 | KG |
| Quantity | 38.0 | PKG (Packages) |
| Measure | 0.0 | CM |
The shipment consists of 38 packages with a total gross weight of 37,160 KG (approximately 81,911 lbs), occupying 4.0 TEU of container space. This substantial weight is consistent with a cargo of steel wheels, which are heavy and dense automotive components. The 4 TEU allocation indicates that the shipment fills approximately two 40-foot containers or four 20-foot containers, which aligns with the container information provided below. The average weight per package is approximately 978 KG, suggesting that each package likely contains multiple steel wheels bundled together for efficient shipping and handling.

The shipping route follows a multi-leg journey originating in Hai Phong, Vietnam, one of the largest port cities in northern Vietnam and a major gateway for Vietnamese exports. From Hai Phong, the cargo was transported to the Port of Pusan (Busan), South Korea, which serves as a major transshipment hub in Northeast Asia. Busan is the largest port in South Korea and one of the busiest container ports in the world, handling millions of TEU annually. The cargo was then loaded onto the container vessel ONE HOUSTON, operated by Ocean Network Express (ONE), one of the world's leading container shipping lines formed through the integration of the container shipping businesses of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha ("K" Line), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), and Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK Line).
The vessel ONE HOUSTON is part of ONE's fleet serving the trans-Pacific trade lanes connecting Asia to the US Gulf Coast. The ship's name itself, "ONE HOUSTON," reflects its dedicated service route to the Port of Houston. After traversing the Pacific Ocean and transiting the Panama Canal, the vessel arrived at the Port of Houston, Texas, which is the largest port on the US Gulf Coast and the sixth-largest container port in the United States. Houston's strategic location makes it an ideal entry point for goods destined for the vast US interior market, with excellent rail and highway connections to major distribution centers throughout the country.
| Container ID | Size | Type | Desc Code | Load Status | Service Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KKFU7792525 | 40' x 9' x 8' | 45G1 (High Cube) | 00 | L (Loaded) | CY (Container Yard) |
| DRYU9948000 | 40' x 9' x 8' | 45G1 (High Cube) | 00 | L (Loaded) | CY (Container Yard) |
The shipment utilizes two 40-foot High Cube containers (type code 45G1), which provide approximately 9 feet 6 inches of internal height compared to the standard 8 feet 6 inches, offering additional vertical capacity for taller cargo. High Cube containers are particularly useful for shipments that benefit from extra stacking height, allowing more efficient packing of goods. Both containers are designated as "L" (Loaded) and operate under CY (Container Yard) service terms, meaning the shipper is responsible for stuffing and sealing the container at the origin, and the consignee is responsible for destuffing at the destination. The container prefix "KKFU" belongs to one shipping line's fleet while "DRYU" belongs to another, which is common in co-loading arrangements or when containers are interchanged between carriers in allied shipping networks.
HS Code 871690 falls under Chapter 87 of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, which covers "Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof." The classification hierarchy for this code is as follows:
| Level | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chapter | 87 | Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and parts and accessories thereof |
| Heading | 8716 | Trailers and semi-trailers; other vehicles, not mechanically propelled; and parts thereof |
| Subheading | 8716.90 | Parts of trailers or semi-trailers of heading 8716 |
Subheading 8716.90 specifically covers parts of trailers and semi-trailers, which includes a wide range of components such as steel wheels, wheel hubs, axles, suspension systems, frames, landing gear, and other structural and mechanical parts used in trailer manufacturing and maintenance. The steel wheels in this shipment are classified under this subheading because they are manufactured specifically for use on trailers and semi-trailers, as opposed to wheels for passenger vehicles (which would fall under different subheadings in Chapter 87).
Steel wheels for trailers are essential components in the commercial transportation industry. They differ from passenger vehicle wheels in their design specifications, including higher load-bearing capacity, thicker steel gauge, different bolt patterns, and larger diameters (commonly 16.5-inch, 17.5-inch, or 22.5-inch for commercial trailer applications). The import of these components from Vietnam to the United States reflects the ongoing globalization of the automotive and transportation equipment supply chain, where US distributors source trailer components from cost-competitive manufacturers in Southeast Asia.
The import of steel wheels from Vietnam to the United States exemplifies the growing trade relationship between the two countries in the manufacturing and industrial goods sector. Vietnam has rapidly evolved from a primarily agricultural economy to a significant manufacturing powerhouse over the past two decades, driven by foreign direct investment, government industrialization policies, and favorable trade agreements. The country is now a major producer and exporter of automotive components, electronics, textiles, and steel products.
In the specific context of trailer wheels and components, Vietnam offers several competitive advantages for US importers like Tredit Tire and Wheel Company. First, manufacturing costs in Vietnam are significantly lower than in the United States or other developed countries, allowing for competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Second, Vietnamese manufacturers have made substantial investments in modern production facilities, quality control systems, and international certifications (such as ISO and DOT standards) that meet the stringent requirements of the US market. Third, Vietnam's strategic location in Southeast Asia provides efficient access to major shipping routes, with deep-water ports like Hai Phong and Cat Lai offering direct connections to trans-Pacific shipping services.
The US-Vietnam bilateral trade relationship has been strengthened by several key agreements, most notably the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) signed in 2000, which normalized trade relations and significantly reduced tariff barriers. More recently, Vietnam's participation in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) has further integrated the country into regional and global trade frameworks. For products classified under HS 8716, the Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariff rates in the United States are generally low, making Vietnamese-sourced trailer components price-competitive compared to domestic production or sourcing from other countries.
The Port of Houston serves as a critical entry point for Vietnamese imports destined for the US market, particularly for goods flowing to the central and eastern United States. Houston's extensive intermodal transportation network, including Class I railroads (Union Pacific, BNSF, Kansas City Southern) and the interstate highway system (I-10, I-45, I-69), provides efficient inland distribution capabilities. For a company like Tredit, which distributes trailer wheels and tires nationwide, Houston's logistics infrastructure offers optimal connectivity to major trailer manufacturing and distribution centers in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States.
