Importers of Other Industrial Supplies paid $469.9M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 10.62% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: August 2026 dataA broad residual grouping, other industrial supplies captures imported inputs used across manufacturing, processing, and maintenance operations that do not fit a more specific end-use category. Products in this grouping range from chemical preparations and lubricants to miscellaneous consumables used on the factory floor. Because this is a catch-all classification, trade professionals should confirm that a product does not belong in a more precisely defined end-use heading before assigning it here, as the residual nature of the category can complicate trend analysis and tariff planning.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
This residual grouping tends to capture miscellaneous consumables, maintenance materials, and processing aids — such as specialty lubricants, industrial cleaning compounds, or minor chemical preparations — that do not align with a named end-use heading like synthetic rubber, steel, or specific machinery inputs.
The more specific end-use heading should always take precedence when the product clearly meets its criteria. Defaulting to the residual 'other industrial supplies' category without first ruling out more specific headings can create compliance exposure and distort internal trade reporting. A licensed customs broker can assist with end-use classification determinations.
