About this HS Code
HS Code 8429 covers self-propelled bulldozers, angledozers, graders, levelers, scrapers, mechanical shovels, excavators, shovel loaders, tamping machines, and road rollers. The classification includes detailed subcategories for bulldozers/angledozers (8429.11-8429.19), graders/levelers (8429.20), scrapers (8429.30), tamping machines/road rollers (8429.40), and mechanical shovels/excavators/loaders (8429.51-8429.59). This earth-moving and construction equipment category includes heavy machinery for civil engineering, mining, and construction applications. Products range from compact skid-steer loaders to massive mining excavators. Technical specifications focus on operating capacity, power, mobility characteristics, durability under harsh conditions, and operator safety/comfort features. Unlike static machinery, these self-propelled units combine material handling capabilities with mobility to perform work across construction sites. This division represents capital equipment essential for infrastructure development, resource extraction, and building construction, providing the mechanical capabilities that enable large-scale earth moving, material placement, and ground preparation for modern construction projects.
