U.S. exports of mobile drilling derricks (HS 870520) totaled $3.5M in July 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTruck-mounted or self-propelled drilling derricks used in oil, gas, and mineral exploration are captured under a single US tariff line (8705200000), reflecting their highly specialized role in the energy extraction sector. Canada and Mexico are the only significant suppliers to the US market under this heading — a concentration that aligns with North American oilfield equipment manufacturing clusters in Alberta and northern Mexico. Importers should confirm that the unit is a complete, road-mobile derrick rather than a stationary or modular rig component, which could redirect classification toward Chapter 84 machinery headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A mobile drilling derrick under 8705 must be mounted on a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis designed for road travel. Stationary or skid-mounted drilling rigs, as well as modular rig components, typically fall under Chapter 84 machinery provisions rather than heading 8705. The presence of a road-legal chassis with an integrated engine is the primary distinguishing criterion.
Beyond standard CBP entry documentation, importers should be prepared to provide manufacturer specifications confirming the unit's self-propelled, road-mobile design. If the derrick incorporates controlled technology (e.g., advanced drilling electronics), Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) review may be relevant on the export side. Consulting a licensed customs broker familiar with energy-sector equipment is recommended for complex configurations.
