U.S. exports of off-highway dump trucks (HS 870410) totaled $326.8M in August 2026.
Importers of Off-Highway Dump Trucks paid $31.1M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 23.30% of the $133.3M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Off-Highway Dump Trucks imports of $133.3M in August 2026 ran 12% below the year-to-date monthly average of $151.8M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataEngineered for mining, quarrying, and large-scale construction sites, off-highway dumpers are purpose-built vehicles that never operate on public roads and are classified separately from on-highway trucks throughout Chapter 87. The US schedule subdivides this heading by payload capacity—from vehicles at or below 40.8 metric tons through those exceeding 90.7 metric tons—plus a dedicated line for cab-chassis configurations (8704101000) and a separate line for non-rear-dump configurations (8704105060). The United Kingdom and Japan are the leading suppliers, reflecting the global dominance of a small number of specialized heavy-equipment manufacturers headquartered in those countries.

The key criterion is design intent: off-highway dumpers are engineered exclusively for use on unprepared terrain and mine haul roads, typically lacking road-legal lighting, mirrors, and speed capability. Technical specifications, manufacturer's literature, and the vehicle's inability to be registered for public road use all support classification under 870410. Vehicles capable of dual use may require a binding ruling.
The payload-capacity breakpoints (40.8, 63.5, and 90.7 metric tons) create distinct 10-digit tariff lines, and duty treatment can differ across those lines. Importers should verify the rated payload from the manufacturer's specification sheet and confirm the applicable rate with a licensed customs broker, as the correct line selection has direct cost implications for large capital equipment purchases.
