U.S. imports of buckets, shovels, grabs & grips for derricks, cranes, bulldozers, graders, scrapers, borers & extracting machinery (HS 843141) totaled $43.3M in August 2026, imported from 50 countries.
Importers of Buckets, Shovels, Grabs & Grips for Derricks, Cranes, Bulldozers, Graders, Scrapers, Borers & Extracting Machinery paid $7.5M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 17.38% of the $43.3M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataGround-engaging attachments — shovel attachments (8431410020), clamshell and grappler attachments (8431410040), dragline buckets (8431410060), and other grabs and grips (8431410080) — classify here as dedicated working tools for cranes, derricks, and earthmoving machinery rather than as the machines themselves. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, with Canada and China also significant sources; Chinese-origin attachments may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, a material cost factor given the high unit weights and values typical of heavy dragline and clamshell equipment. Correct classification requires confirming the attachment is designed for a covered parent machine rather than for agricultural or forestry equipment, which would route to different headings.

A hydraulic thumb designed as a dedicated attachment for excavator arms — functioning as a grab or grip — generally classifies under 8431410080 (buckets, shovels, grabs and grips, NESOI) within 843141. Generic hydraulic cylinders or multi-purpose attachments not specifically designed for the covered machinery may require separate classification analysis under hydraulic equipment headings.
Dragline buckets from China classifying under 8431410060 are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs, which can significantly increase landed cost for these heavy, high-value components. Importers should verify current Section 301 list coverage and any applicable exclusions at the time of entry, and consider whether alternative sourcing from Mexico or Canada — both leading suppliers — could reduce duty exposure.
