U.S. imports of Household Appliances (End-Use 41030) totaled $2.8B in August 2026, imported from 99 countries.
Importers of Household Appliances paid $534.8M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 18.91% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataImported household appliances — including major white goods and small electrics — have been a focal point of US trade-remedy activity, with washing machines subject to Section 201 safeguard tariffs and certain steel and aluminum components in appliances affected by Section 232 measures. The end-use category is broadly sourced, and importers must track not only the appliance-level HTS classification but also the origin of key components, which can affect country-of-origin marking and duty liability. Energy efficiency labeling requirements under the FTC's Energy Guide program apply at the retail level but are a compliance consideration importers should coordinate with their distribution partners.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
Washing machines have been subject to Section 201 global safeguard tariffs, and the specific rates and quota thresholds have evolved through successive Presidential proclamations. Importers should verify the current status of any safeguard measure — including whether quota volumes have been filled for the current period — with CBP or a licensed customs broker, as the landscape changes with each annual review.
CBP applies a substantial-transformation test: the country where the appliance undergoes its last substantial transformation — typically final assembly if it changes the article's name, character, and use — is the country of origin for marking purposes. For complex appliances, this analysis can be fact-intensive, and importers uncertain about the outcome should consider requesting a binding ruling from CBP before importation.
