8701.30.10.60 - With a net engine power of 194 kW or more but less than 257.4 kW

This HTS category, 8701.30.10.60, specifically classifies new, track-laying tractors suitable for agricultural use that possess a net engine power ranging from 194 kW up to, but not including, 257.4 kW. These are powerful agricultural machines designed for heavy-duty tasks such as plowing, tilling, and hauling in large-scale farming operations, where their track system provides superior traction and weight distribution over varied terrains compared to wheeled tractors.

The critical differentiating factor for this subcategory is its defined engine power range. It is distinct from sibling categories that cover tractors with lower engine power (8701.30.10.15, 8701.30.10.30, and 8701.30.10.45) and those with higher engine power (8701.30.10.75). Importers and exporters must meticulously verify the net engine power output of the tractor against the specifications provided by the manufacturer to ensure accurate classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is solely on confirming the tractor is new, track-laying, intended for agricultural use, and falls within the specified net engine power parameters. The absence of further subdivisions emphasizes the importance of precisely matching the tractor's engine specifications to the criteria outlined in this code.
