U.S. imports of track-laying tractors (HS 870130) totaled $48.4M in April 2026, traded with 8 countries.
Importers of Track-Laying Tractors paid $9.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $46.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCrawlers and other track-laying tractors — used across agriculture, construction, forestry, and mining — are classified here and subdivided in the US schedule by engine power band (from under 93.3 kW up to 257.4 kW or more), end-use designation (agricultural versus other), and new/used condition across sixteen 10-digit tariff lines. Brazil and Thailand are the leading recorded suppliers to the US market, with France, Canada, and Germany also contributing. Track-laying tractors are subject to Section 232 tariff considerations for steel and aluminum content in certain components, and importers should confirm whether the specific unit's end-use designation as 'agricultural' is supportable, as that distinction affects which tariff line applies.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule maintains parallel tariff lines for track-laying tractors designated for agricultural use versus other uses at each engine power band. Classification as agricultural typically requires that the tractor is designed and marketed primarily for farm operations, supported by the manufacturer's product literature and intended-use documentation. Misdesignating a construction crawler as agricultural — or vice versa — can result in the wrong 10-digit line and potential duty underpayment.
CBP expects the manufacturer's rated engine output in kilowatts as stated in the technical specification sheet or engine data plate. The US schedule uses breakpoints at 93.3 kW, 119.4 kW, 194 kW, and 257.4 kW, so a difference of even a few kilowatts can shift classification to a different tariff line. Importers should retain the original manufacturer's spec sheet rather than relying on converted horsepower figures, which can introduce rounding errors.
