Overview
This HTS classification applies to new, track-laying tractors that are not of heading 8709, and specifically those equipped with a net engine power ranging from 93.3 kW up to, but not including, 119.4 kW. These are heavy-duty vehicles designed for pulling or pushing heavy loads, often in agricultural, construction, or industrial settings, characterized by their continuous track system for enhanced traction and maneuverability on rough terrain.
The key differentiating factor for this category is the precise range of engine power. It is distinct from sibling categories that classify track-laying tractors with lower engine power (less than 93.3 kW), or those with higher engine power thresholds, such as 119.4 kW to less than 194 kW, and all subsequent higher power classifications. This granular breakdown by engine output is a critical factor in ensuring accurate tariff application.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification at this level is definitive based on the established criteria of being a new, track-laying tractor with an engine power output within the specified range. Examples of tractors falling into this category would include certain models of bulldozers or specialized agricultural crawlers engineered for specific tasks requiring this power output.
