8701.30.10.75 - With a net engine power of 257.4 kW or more

This HTS classification, 8701.30.10.75, specifically designates track-laying tractors suitable for agricultural use that are new and possess a substantial net engine power of 257.4 kilowatts or more. These are heavy-duty agricultural machines engineered for demanding fieldwork, characterized by their continuous tracks for superior traction and load distribution, and their high power output to handle extensive cultivation, plowing, or hauling operations. The focus on net engine power is a critical determinant for distinguishing these powerful agricultural tractors from their less potent counterparts.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings hinges precisely on the engine power specification. Categories 8701.30.10.15, 8701.30.10.30, 8701.30.10.45, and 8701.30.10.60 cover track-laying agricultural tractors with progressively lower engine power outputs, ranging from less than 93.3 kW up to 257.4 kW. Therefore, this specific sub-heading is reserved for the most powerful tier of new, track-laying agricultural tractors.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 8701.30.10.75 does not have further subdivisions. The classification is complete at this level, with the defining characteristics being the type of tractor (track-laying), intended use (agricultural), condition (new), and the precise minimum net engine power of 257.4 kW. Importers and exporters should ensure all these criteria are met for accurate classification.
