What stands out
- Canada was the largest destination in 2025: $6.78 billion, led by wheel loaders.
- Among destinations that took at least $20 million, Ecuador grew fastest: +291% on 2024, to $44.4 million.
- Average excavator values range from $994 thousand a unit to Chile to $4,701 to China, among destinations that took 20 or more units: the same HS code covers mining-class machines and compact ones.

Units are as reported by the United States. A dash means the quantity was not reported for that year. Crawler tractor units jump in 2025 while value falls, which points to a change in how quantities were recorded; treat that average with care.
By destination
All 136 destinations with a country guide that received tracked machines in either year, ranked by value. Circle area on the map is proportional to value.

Method and sources
Exports reported by the United States to UN Comtrade, read through the World Bank's WITS service at HS six-digit level. Values are the customs value of the shipment in U.S. dollars; units are the quantity the U.S. reported. Partner names are matched to our country guides; territories without a guide are left out of the destination table but stay in the world totals.
