8701

Analysis

Heading 8701 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers tractors (other than tractors of heading 8709). It divides into 12 six-digit subheadings and 18 eight-digit tariff lines, with 38 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

13 of its 18 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (72%) and 5 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4%. The median line pays duty-free.

Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 23rd percentile of the headings in chapter 87.

The largest subheadings are 8701.30 (track-laying tractors, 2 lines), 8701.91 (not exceeding 18 kW, 2 lines), 8701.92 (exceeding 18 kW but not exceeding 37 kW, 2 lines) and 8701.93 (exceeding 37 kW but not exceeding 75 kW, 2 lines).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Construction Machinery Manufacturing (333120), Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing (336120) and Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing (333111). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
