Detailed information for HTS Code 8701.29.00
This tariff code falls within the broader category of vehicles, specifically tractors, as defined in Chapter 87. Code 8701.29.00 covers road tractors for semi-trailers that don’t fall into more specific classifications, encompassing both new and used tractors. Statistical reporting requires differentiating between new tractors (those not previously sold to an end user) and used tractors, and further specifies new tractors by Gross Vehicle Weight (G.V.W.) exceeding or not exceeding 36,287 kg—choose the appropriate suffix (.15, .45, or .80) based on these characteristics. Reporting should use these suffixes to indicate the G.V.W. or used status of the tractor being reported.
