U.S. exports of battery-electric road tractors for semi-trailers (HS 870124) totaled $450K in July 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPowered exclusively by electric motors with no internal combustion engine, these zero-emission semi-truck tractors represent a rapidly growing import category subject to Section 301 tariffs when sourced from China. The US schedule subdivides the heading into new units under 36,287 kg GVW (8701240015), new units at or above that threshold (8701240045), and used units (8701240080). South Korea leads recorded US imports under this heading, followed by Canada and China — a supplier mix that creates meaningfully different duty exposure depending on origin. Importers sourcing from South Korea may benefit from KORUS FTA treatment, while Chinese-origin units face Section 301 measures.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Electric road tractors originating in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the base MFN duty rate. Importers should confirm the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusion orders with a licensed customs broker before entry, as rates and exclusions have changed over time.
Customs requires the manufacturer's technical specification sheet or certificate of conformity showing the gross vehicle weight rating. Units below 36,287 kg classify under 8701240015, while those at or above that threshold fall under 8701240045. Relying solely on the commercial invoice without a technical spec sheet is a common documentation gap that can delay entry.
