U.S. exports of road tractors for semi-trailers with spark-ignition engine and electric motor (HS 870123) totaled $5.5M in July 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPlug-in hybrid semi-truck tractors combining a spark-ignition gasoline engine with an electric drive motor occupy a distinct classification separate from pure-electric or conventional diesel units. The US schedule breaks this heading into two 10-digit lines: new units under 36,287 kg GVW (8701230015) and used units of any weight (8701230080). Importers should note that the United Kingdom is the primary recorded supplier, and post-Brexit origin documentation requirements affect customs clearance procedures. Classification hinges on confirming both propulsion systems are present; a unit with only an electric motor falls instead under heading 870124.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The key is whether both propulsion systems are present. If the tractor uses a spark-ignition internal combustion engine combined with an electric motor, it classifies under 870123. If propulsion is solely by electric motor with no combustion engine, it falls under 870124. Manufacturers' technical specifications and engine configuration documentation are essential for correct classification.
Yes. The US schedule provides separate 10-digit lines for new units below 36,287 kg GVW (8701230015) and used units (8701230080). Importers must accurately declare condition and GVW, as misclassification between new and used can trigger penalty exposure. Supporting documentation such as the manufacturer's certificate of origin and odometer or hour-meter records is advisable.
