HS code 8701.94 is the 6-digit subheading for tractors, n.e.c. in heading no 8701 (other than tractors of heading no 8709), of an engine power exceeding 75kW but not exceeding 130kW. It is used for large agricultural tractors, high-horsepower utility tractors, row crop tractors, general farm tractors and heavy-duty field tractors.
What HS 8701.94 covers
This category includes powerful, heavy-duty tractors with an engine power exceeding 75kW but not exceeding 130kW, excluding road tractors and works trucks. These machines are primarily utilized in large-scale commercial agriculture and demanding utility applications, designed for extensive field work such as deep tillage, large-scale planting, and operating heavy implements. Importers are typically large commercial farms, agricultural contractors, and significant land development projects. Exporters are leading global manufacturers of high-horsepower agricultural machinery. The trade is characterized by the need for robust construction, high engine output, and advanced technological features like GPS guidance and telematics, which are crucial for maximizing efficiency and output on vast farmlands and in significant infrastructure projects.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
