Mexico and Canada dominate supply, reflecting deep North American manufacturing integration, while the Netherlands and India represent notable non-USMCA sources.

A tanker trailer is specifically designed to carry liquids or gases in a tank body permanently mounted on the trailer frame. If the tank is removable or the unit is configured for dry bulk or general cargo, it would likely fall under a different subheading such as 871639 or 871640. The key classification criterion is the integral tank construction purpose-built for fluid transport.
Tanker trailers intended for hazardous materials transport must comply with US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, including applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) standards and, for certain tank types, DOT specification markings. Importers should confirm that foreign-manufactured tanks meet the relevant DOT specification (e.g., MC or DOT series) before the unit enters US commerce.
