8429.19.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 8429.19.00, encompasses bulldozers and angledozers that are not track-laying. These are self-propelled machines primarily designed for pushing large quantities of soil, sand, snow, or other such material. While they share the fundamental purpose of earthmoving with other machinery in heading 8429, the "other" designation here specifically excludes those models that are equipped with tracks for locomotion, which are classified under 8429.11.00.

The distinguishing feature for classification within 8429.19.00 is the mode of propulsion. This category will include wheeled bulldozers and angledozers, which typically offer greater speed and maneuverability on firm surfaces compared to their track-laying counterparts. The core function remains the same: leveling terrain, pushing debris, or preparing sites through powerful forward thrust.

Further subdivisions exist to distinguish between the condition of the machinery. 8429.19.00.10 specifically covers new bulldozers and angledozers, while 8429.19.00.90 is reserved for those that are used or have been rebuilt. This distinction is crucial for customs purposes, often impacting duty rates and specific import requirements.
