U.S. exports of Road Tractors for Semi-Trailers, NESOI (HS 870129) totaled $4.9M in August 2026, exported to 2 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataConventional diesel and other non-electric, non-hybrid semi-truck tractors that do not fall under the spark-ignition/electric or pure-electric subheadings are captured here as the residual 'not elsewhere specified or included' category. Mexico and Canada together dominate US imports under this heading, reflecting deeply integrated North American commercial vehicle supply chains that benefit from USMCA preferential treatment. The US schedule distinguishes new units by GVW — below 36,287 kg (8701290015) versus at or above that weight (8701290045) — with a separate line for used tractors (8701290080). Importers should verify that a tractor's propulsion system does not qualify it for the more specific hybrid or electric subheadings before defaulting to this residual classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A tractor classifies as NESOI under 870129 when it does not use a spark-ignition engine combined with an electric motor (870123) and is not propelled solely by an electric motor (870124). Most conventional diesel-only or diesel/mechanical-transmission tractors fall here by exclusion. Confirming the propulsion configuration in the manufacturer's technical documentation is the critical first step.
Tractors qualifying as originating goods under USMCA rules of origin — which include regional value content and tariff classification change requirements — may enter duty-free from Mexico or Canada. Importers must obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin and ensure the vehicle meets the applicable regional value content threshold, which for motor vehicles is subject to specific automotive rules.
