Last updated: August 2026 dataMotor graders and levelers are workhorses of road construction and large-scale earthmoving, used to establish precise grades on highway subbase, airfield runways, and mining haul roads. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit tariff line, 8429200000, simplifying classification but not necessarily duty exposure — imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Brazil leads US supply of this equipment, followed by Japan and China, reflecting the global manufacturing footprints of major OEMs that produce in lower-cost markets for export.
