Overview
This HTS subheading covers bodies, including cabs, specifically designed for tractors intended for agricultural use. This includes the main structural components that house the operator and vital machinery, ensuring protection from the elements and providing mounting points for various agricultural implements. The classification is predicated on the tractor's primary intended function in agricultural operations.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8707.90.50 "Other," hinges on the specific application. While 8707.90.10.00 is exclusively for agricultural tractor bodies, the "Other" category would encompass bodies for tractors used in non-agricultural contexts, such as industrial or construction tractors. Therefore, the intended end-use of the tractor is the critical differentiating factor for classification.
As this subheading is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 8707.90.10.00 is definitive for bodies of tractors demonstrably manufactured and marketed for agricultural purposes, such as plowing, tilling, harvesting, or other field operations. The physical characteristics and design features that facilitate these agricultural functions are paramount in determining correct classification.
