Importers of Diesel Trucks for Goods Transport, GVW Over 20 Metric Tons paid $20.7M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 14.46% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataHeavy-duty diesel trucks exceeding 20 metric tons GVW — the class used for long-haul freight, construction, and mining haulage — enter under a single 10-digit line, 8704230100, simplifying classification but not reducing scrutiny. These vehicles are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and importers must verify that the manufacturer's rated GVW genuinely exceeds 20 metric tons to avoid misclassification into the 5–20-ton heading. Mexico and Canada are the leading sources, with Finland and Sweden supplying specialized heavy-haul configurations from European OEMs.

European OEMs such as those headquartered in Finland and Sweden specialize in heavy-haul and vocational trucks — including mining dump trucks and heavy construction vehicles — that routinely exceed 20 metric tons GVW. These configurations are less commonly produced in North America at the same scale, creating an import niche even though Mexico and Canada lead overall volume.
Classification is based on the manufacturer's rated GVW — the maximum permissible loaded weight — not the actual weight at the time of importation. CBP looks to the manufacturer's specification sheet or compliance plate; importing a lightly loaded truck does not move it into a lower GVW bracket.
