U.S. imports of self-propelled moving, grading, leveling, scraping, excavating, tamping, compacting & extracting machinery (nesoi) (HS 843050) totaled $15.2M in July 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Self-Propelled Moving, Grading, Leveling, Scraping, Excavating, Tamping, Compacting & Extracting Machinery (NESOI) paid $1.2M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.0% on $13.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Self-Propelled Moving, Grading, Leveling, Scraping, Excavating, Tamping, Compacting & Extracting Machinery (NESOI) imports of $15.2M in July 2026 ran 13% below the year-to-date monthly average of $17.3M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataEarthmoving and extraction equipment that is self-propelled and not captured by more specific headings — including peat excavators (8430501000) and general self-propelled excavating and extracting machines (8430505000) — classifies here alongside a broader residual line (8430500000). Peat excavators represent a specialized niche tied to agricultural and energy applications, while the general excavating lines serve construction, mining, and land reclamation industries. Poland and Italy lead US imports under this heading, with China also a notable supplier whose shipments may carry Section 301 exposure. Correct classification often hinges on whether the machine's primary function is tamping or compacting (which routes to a separate heading) versus excavating or extracting.

The US schedule carves out peat excavators as a dedicated line (8430501000) due to their specialized design for cutting and lifting peat from bogs, which differs mechanically from general-purpose excavators. Importers should document the machine's design specifications and intended substrate to support the peat-specific classification.
The primary function determines classification: machines designed to move, loosen, or extract earth and minerals classify under 843050, while those designed to densify or compact soil or fill classify under 843061. Technical specifications, manufacturer literature, and the machine's operating mechanism (e.g., vibratory plate vs. excavator bucket) are the key supporting documents.
