8429.11.00.10 - New

This HTS category, 8429.11.00.10, specifically classifies new bulldozers and angledozers that are track-laying. These are self-propelled earth-moving machines characterized by their continuous tracks, providing superior traction and stability for operations on varied and challenging terrain. Their primary function is to push large quantities of soil, sand, snow, or other granular material, making them essential for construction, road building, and land reclamation projects.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8429.11.00.90, is the condition of the goods. This classification strictly applies to machinery that is new, meaning it has never been used in its intended application. The sibling category, conversely, covers bulldozers and angledozers that are either used or rebuilt, indicating prior service and potential refurbishment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8429.11.00.10 is determined by the confirmation of the machine's new condition and its identity as a track-laying bulldozer or bulldozer. The operational purpose and inherent design features of these powerful earth-moving vehicles are key to their accurate placement within this specific tariff heading.
