Last updated: August 2026 dataCompact tractors rated at 18 kW or below — a segment dominated by sub-compact and small utility models widely used in hobby farming, landscaping, and light agricultural work — are classified here, with South Korea and Japan the leading recorded US import sources. The US schedule separates agricultural-use units (8701911010 for new, 8701911090 for used) from non-agricultural units (8701915000), making intended-use documentation critical at entry. South Korean-origin tractors may qualify for preferential duty treatment under the KORUS FTA, provided applicable rules of origin are satisfied.

Yes. The US schedule provides distinct 10-digit lines for agricultural-use tractors (new and used) versus non-agricultural tractors within the under-18 kW band. Importers should ensure the product's marketing materials, technical specifications, and intended end-use are consistent with the declared classification, as CBP may request supporting documentation to verify the agricultural designation.
Tractors originating in South Korea under KORUS rules of origin — including the applicable tariff classification change and regional value content requirements — may qualify for reduced or zero duty under the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement. A valid KORUS certification of origin must accompany the entry, and the importer bears responsibility for ensuring the origin claim is supportable.
