Tractors, n.e.c. in heading no 8701 (other than tractors of heading no 8709), of an engine power exceeding 37kW but not exceeding 75kW.
Classification of farm tractor under HS 8701.93
The classification of farm tractors under HS code 8701.93 is determined by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System. Heading 8701 specifically identifies tractors as motor vehicles designed for pulling or pushing loads. Within this heading, the system differentiates tractors based on their primary function and, for agricultural tractors, their engine power. Subheading 8701.93 is designated for tractors with a power output greater than 37 kW but less than or equal to 75 kW. This power range is critical for customs valuation and regulatory compliance, as different power brackets may be subject to varying duty rates or environmental standards. The engine power must be measured as net power, typically following the ISO 14396 standard. These vehicles are characterized by their rugged construction, high torque, and power take-off (PTO) shafts used to drive agricultural implements like plows or balers.

Codes often confused with 8701.93
Common mistake. Farm tractors are frequently confused with other subheadings in the 8701 group. Specifically, code 8701.92 is for tractors between 18kW and 37kW, while 8701.94 covers those between 75kW and 130kW. Misclassifying the engine power can lead to significant customs delays. Additionally, self-propelled machinery like harvesters or mowers are classified under heading 8433, and earth-moving equipment like backhoes falls under 8429, even if they resemble tractors.

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).
