Subheading 870422 · $613.5M of $3.8B
U.S. imports of diesel trucks for goods transport, gvw 5–20 metric tons (HS 870422) totaled $613.5M in July 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Importers of Diesel Trucks for Goods Transport, GVW 5–20 Metric Tons paid $76.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 25% on $300.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataMedium-duty diesel trucks in the 5-to-20-metric-ton GVW range are subject to Section 232 tariffs as motor vehicles, making origin and valuation documentation critical for importers. The US schedule subdivides this heading into cab chassis and complete trucks across four GVW bands — 5–9, 9–12, 12–15, and 15–20 metric tons — each with its own 10-digit tariff line. Mexico and Canada dominate supply, with Japan and Germany also contributing meaningfully, so USMCA regional-value-content and tariff-classification rules are a routine compliance focus for North American-sourced units. Correct GVW documentation from the manufacturer is essential, as misclassification between weight bands carries duty and penalty exposure.

Gross Vehicle Weight for HTS classification is the manufacturer's rated maximum loaded weight, typically found on the vehicle's compliance plate or in the manufacturer's certificate of origin. Importers should obtain written GVW documentation from the manufacturer before entry, as CBP may request it to verify the correct weight-band subheading.
Cab chassis entries (e.g., 8704221120–8704221180) cover units shipped without a cargo body — just the cab, frame, and drivetrain — while the complete truck lines (e.g., 8704224120–8704224180 and 8704225120–8704225180) cover fully bodied vehicles. The distinction matters because incomplete vehicles may also be classifiable under Chapter 87 incomplete-vehicle rules, and the correct line affects both duty treatment and Section 232 exposure.
