HS Code 8701.10 – Tractors; single axle
HS code 8701.10 is the 6-digit subheading for tractors, single axle. It is used for walking tractors, power tillers, garden tractors (single axle), rotary tillers (engine-driven) and cultivators (engine-driven).
What HS 8701.10 covers
This HS code pertains to single-axle tractors, often known as walking tractors or power tillers. These versatile machines are primarily used in agriculture and horticulture, particularly in small-scale farming, gardening, and landscaping. They are highly valued in regions with smaller landholdings, terraced fields, or challenging terrains where larger, multi-axle tractors are impractical. International trade involves manufacturers supplying agricultural communities, especially in developing economies, and specialized equipment dealers. The demand for these tractors is driven by their affordability, maneuverability, and ability to perform various tasks like tilling, plowing, and hauling with appropriate attachments, contributing significantly to food production efficiency in many parts of the world.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
