8701.30.10.45 - With a net engine power of 119.4 kW or more but less than 194 kW

This HTS category, 8701.30.10.45, specifically classifies new, track-laying tractors that are suitable for agricultural use and possess a net engine power ranging from 119.4 kW (kilowatts) up to, but not including, 194 kW. These are heavy-duty agricultural machines designed for efficient operation across varied terrains, utilizing tracks for superior traction and reduced soil compaction compared to wheeled tractors. Their power output places them in a mid-range category, suitable for a significant scope of agricultural tasks.

This classification is distinct from its sibling categories by its precise engine power range. Tractors classified under 8701.30.10.15 and 8701.30.10.30 have lower engine power outputs, indicating lighter-duty agricultural applications. Conversely, those falling under 8701.30.10.60 and 8701.30.10.75 are more powerful machines designed for the most demanding agricultural operations. The defining characteristic for this particular subcategory is therefore the specific kilowatt output of the engine, which directly relates to the tractor's operational capacity and intended use.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, 8701.30.10.45 does not have further subdivisions. All eligible new, track-laying, agricultural tractors within the specified net engine power range of 119.4 kW to less than 194 kW will be classified here. Importers and exporters must carefully verify the net engine power specifications of the tractor against this range to ensure correct classification for customs purposes.
