Use the same DOT codes as you would for Toyo tires to look them up - a dot starting with CX is Japan, 9T is China.

Thanks for the link to google, but I've already searched.
I don't have the tires yet but I'm buying some from the states, and then crossing the borders with them into Canada. If they're not made in USA, the they charge an additional 6.1%

Yeah, I'm aware of this. The thing is I DON'T HAVE THE TIRES YET. And I want to get the money ready in case I have to pay additional taxes.

I don't really understand what you're saying or how this is relevant to what I'm asking?

Maybe I gotta put this in point form.

- I bought tires from an online website
- I had them shipped to the US border
- I will want to calculate the amount of tax I will pay when I cross border into Canada
- I need to determine if they are made in USA or not because they charge additional 6.1% for any tire not made in USA.
- That's it. Simple?

Doesn't look like it's very simple if after 5+ responses you don't have your answer. Why didn't you just email Nitto directly?
