HS Code for Utility tractor

Utility tractors with an engine power exceeding 37kW but not exceeding 75kW are classified under HS code 8701.93. This classification falls under Chapter 87, which governs vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock. The heading 8701 is dedicated to tractors, defined as vehicles constructed essentially for hauling or pushing another vehicle, appliance, or load. The sub-classification 8701.93 is strictly determined by the net engine power, measured in kilowatts. This range typically encompasses mid-sized utility tractors used in professional landscaping, municipal maintenance, and medium-scale agricultural operations. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the tractor is equipped with a Power Take-Off (PTO) or a three-point hitch, provided the primary function is traction rather than the transport of goods or persons.

Products Included

• Agricultural utility tractors (37kW-75kW)
• Landscaping tractors within the specified power range
• Industrial towing tractors for factory use
• Municipal maintenance tractors for mowing or snow removal

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 8701.92 (tractors 18kW to 37kW) or 8701.94 (tractors 75kW to 130kW). Precise engine specification sheets are required to distinguish between these. Additionally, utility tractors are sometimes confused with 8429.51 (front-end shovel loaders) if they have a permanent loader attachment; however, if the loader is removable and the vehicle is designed for traction, 8701.93 is correct.
