Product classification
HS code for Tire dozer: 8429.19
Bulldozers and angledozers, self-propelled, other than track laying.
Classification of tire dozer under HS 8429.19
A tire dozer, or wheel bulldozer, is classified under HS code 8429.19. Heading 8429 covers self-propelled bulldozers, angledozers, graders, levellers, scrapers, mechanical shovels, excavators, shovel loaders, tamping machines, and road rollers. The classification is further refined by the method of locomotion. Subheading 8429.11 is for track-laying (crawler) bulldozers, while 8429.19 is the 'other' category, which includes those mounted on wheels (tires). These machines are characterized by a heavy steel blade mounted to the front, used for pushing large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, or other material during construction or earthmoving work. The distinction from loaders is that dozers are primarily designed for pushing rather than lifting, and the classification is determined by the machine's primary function and its wheeled chassis.

Codes often confused with 8429.19
Common mistake. Tire dozers are most commonly misclassified under HS code 8429.11, which is specifically for track-laying bulldozers. While the function is identical, the HS system separates them based on the undercarriage (tracks vs. wheels). They are also sometimes confused with wheel loaders under HS code 8429.51. The key difference is the attachment: a dozer has a blade for pushing, while a loader has a bucket and linkage for lifting and loading. If a machine is a tractor fitted with a blade, it might be misclassified under 8701, but if it is an integrated unit designed for earthmoving, 8429 is the correct heading.

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).
