Last updated: April 2026 dataSelf-propelled bulldozers and angledozers — earthmoving machines defined by their front-mounted straight or angled blades — are foundational equipment for road construction, mine site development, and large-scale land grading. The angledozer variant, whose blade can be set at a horizontal angle to cast material to one side, is classified alongside the straight-blade bulldozer under this heading rather than with graders. Section 232 and Section 301 tariff measures have affected imports of construction machinery from certain origins, making country-of-origin analysis a standard step in capital equipment procurement for US contractors.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No — both straight-blade bulldozers and angledozers (whose blades pivot horizontally to cast material laterally) are classified together under this heading. The blade geometry does not create a separate classification. The distinction that matters for classification is between bulldozers/angledozers and graders or scrapers, which are separately classified based on their earthmoving function.
Bulldozers imported from certain countries may be subject to Section 301 tariffs or, depending on the specific HTS subheading and origin, Section 232 measures. Importers should conduct a full tariff analysis — including checking for any active antidumping or countervailing duty orders on construction equipment — with a licensed customs broker before finalizing purchase agreements, as these measures can materially affect landed cost.
