SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of non-self-propelled earth moving, grading & excavating machinery (nes) (SITC 72347) totaled $17.0M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Non-Self-Propelled Earth Moving, Grading & Excavating Machinery (NES) paid $1.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $13.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTowed or stationary attachments for moving, grading, leveling, and excavating earth, minerals, or ores fall here when they lack their own propulsion and are not elsewhere specified in SITC. These implements — including towed scrapers, graders, and leveling equipment — are widely traded inputs for mining, quarrying, and large-scale civil construction projects. Classification hinges on the absence of self-propulsion and the specific function performed, making it important to distinguish this heading from self-propelled earthmoving machinery and from dedicated attachments classified elsewhere.

The defining criterion is the absence of an integral drive system: equipment under this heading must be towed, pushed, or otherwise moved by a separate prime mover. Self-propelled machines with their own engine and drive train fall under different SITC headings regardless of the earthmoving function performed.
Yes — NES headings are residual categories, meaning a product should only be classified here after confirming it does not fit a more specific SITC provision. Importers should review all relevant specific headings for earthmoving and mining machinery before defaulting to this residual code, and consult a licensed customs broker when classification is uncertain.
