Canada leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany and France, reflecting European dominance in industrial electric vehicle manufacturing. As electrification of industrial fleets accelerates, importers should confirm that vehicles with any integrated lifting mechanism are excluded from this heading and classified instead under heading 8427.
