Last updated: July 2026 dataMarine anchors and grapnels — along with their component parts — are consolidated into a single 10-digit line (7316000000) under the US tariff schedule, covering everything from small recreational boat anchors to large commercial vessel ground tackle. China and India are the leading suppliers, with South Korea also a notable source. Buyers sourcing anchors for commercial vessels should verify compliance with applicable US Coast Guard or classification society specifications, as anchor grade and holding capacity requirements vary significantly by vessel type and operating environment.

Commercial vessel anchors may need to meet standards set by classification societies (such as ABS or DNV GL) or US Coast Guard regulations depending on the vessel's service and flag. While CBP does not itself impose performance standards at entry, buyers for commercial marine applications should obtain mill certificates and, where required, classification society approval documentation from the foreign manufacturer before importation.
Functional anchors and grapnels of iron or steel, regardless of size, are properly classified under 7316.00. Purely decorative articles that are not designed or capable of functioning as anchors may be classified elsewhere — typically under Chapter 83 (miscellaneous articles of base metal) or Chapter 73 NESOI provisions. The functional design intent and construction are the determining factors.
