Are your South Carolina tire fees, used-tire inspections, and waste-tire manifests handled correctly?

South Carolina imposes a $2 fee on covered new and used tires sold to the ultimate consumer and requires liable tire retailers to file and pay Solid Waste Excise Tax. State tire law also prohibits installing an unsafe used tire on a passenger car or light truck and defines specific unsafe conditions. When waste tires are transferred to or received from a waste-tire hauler, generators and facilities must verify required manifest information.

Quick check

Verify covered new and used tire sales enter the $2 fee workflow, never install a used tire that meets the statutory unsafe criteria, and check manifest information when waste tires are transferred.

When this applies

Your South Carolina shop sells or installs new or used tires or transfers waste tires to a waste-tire hauler.

Confirm covered new and used tire sales enter the $2 fee workflow, inspect used tires against the statutory unsafe-tire criteria before installation, and verify required manifest information whenever waste tires move through a regulated hauler.
