Last updated: August 2026 dataVending machines designed to dispense non-beverage goods — snacks, packaged foods, personal care items, electronics accessories — while incorporating heating or refrigerating systems are classified under 8476810000. China is the dominant supplier, followed by Mexico and the United Kingdom, reflecting both low-cost manufacturing concentration and North American supply-chain integration. The refrigeration or heating component distinguishes these machines from their ambient-temperature counterparts (8476890000) and from beverage-specific machines (8476210000); the goods-vending versus beverage-vending distinction is determined by the machine's primary product design, not its thermal capability.

Classification of combination machines typically follows the principal function or the machine's design intent. A machine primarily engineered to vend packaged snacks or merchandise — even if it also dispenses bottled drinks — would generally fall under 8476810000 rather than 8476210000. Importers should retain product specifications and marketing materials to support the classification at entry.
Yes. Automatic goods-vending machines with heating or refrigerating devices imported from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Given that China is the leading supplier under this subheading, importers should factor Section 301 exposure into landed-cost calculations and evaluate whether alternative sourcing from Mexico — the second-ranked supplier — offers a cost advantage.
