U.S. imports of non-mechanically propelled vehicles, n.e.s. (SITC 78685) totaled $57.1M in April 2026, traded with 51 countries.
Importers of Non-Mechanically Propelled Vehicles, N.E.S. paid $16.8M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 32% on $52.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHuman- or animal-drawn vehicles that fall outside more specific SITC headings — such as hand carts, cycle rickshaws, and animal-drawn wagons — occupy this residual classification. Because the category is a catch-all, correct classification hinges on confirming the absence of any mechanical or electric propulsion system and verifying that no more specific heading applies. Importers should document the motive power source carefully, as misclassification into motorized vehicle headings can trigger substantially different duty treatment.

The N.E.S. designation means 'not elsewhere specified.' A vehicle belongs here only if it lacks mechanical propulsion and does not fit a named heading such as bicycles, trailers, or baby carriages. Customs brokers typically review the product's motive source, construction, and intended use against the full SITC schedule before assigning this residual code.
Yes — non-mechanically propelled vehicles are classified separately from motorized vehicles and generally face different tariff treatment. The specific HTS subheading determines the exact rate, and importers should verify current column 1 rates and any applicable trade-remedy orders with a licensed customs broker before entry.
