Importers of Self-Propelled Mechanical Shovels & Excavators with 360° Revolving Superstructure paid $109.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 24% on $459.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Self-Propelled Mechanical Shovels & Excavators with 360° Revolving Superstructure imports of $468.3M in April 2026 ran 23% above the year-to-date monthly average of $380.8M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFull-rotation excavators — commonly called hydraulic excavators or '360s' in the construction industry — are defined by their ability to swing the boom, arm, and bucket assembly through a complete horizontal circle, enabling dig-and-dump cycles without repositioning the machine. This 360-degree revolving superstructure is the precise classification criterion that separates these machines from front-end loaders and other non-rotating excavating equipment. Hydraulic excavators are a high-value capital equipment category with significant Section 301 tariff exposure for units sourced from China, making origin and tariff engineering central to fleet procurement strategy.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. This heading specifically requires a 360-degree revolving superstructure. A backhoe loader — which typically has a rear-mounted digging attachment with limited swing arc and a front-mounted loader bucket — does not meet that criterion and classifies under a different heading. Only machines whose upper works can rotate continuously through a full circle qualify here.
At the HTS 10-digit level, 360-degree revolving excavators are often subdivided by operating weight or engine power, with different subheadings applying to mini-excavators, mid-size units, and large mining-class machines. Importers must identify the correct weight-class subheading for each unit, as misclassification across size bands is a common compliance issue. A licensed customs broker can assist in mapping machine specifications to the correct tariff line.
