U.S. imports of diesel & semi-diesel compression-ignition piston engines (other) (HS 840890) totaled $251.2M in April 2026, traded with 31 countries.
Importers of Diesel & Semi-Diesel Compression-Ignition Piston Engines (Other) paid $23.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $218.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPower output is the primary classification axis for these compression-ignition engines not elsewhere specified: the US schedule breaks them into agricultural/horticultural applications (8408901000, 8408901040, 8408901080) and general-purpose tiers ranging from under 149.2 kW up through engines exceeding 1,119 kW (8408909010 through 8408909050). Engines in the higher power bands are critical inputs for construction, mining, marine, and stationary power-generation equipment. The United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany are the leading US import sources, reflecting the concentration of heavy-duty diesel engineering among European and Japanese OEMs. Importers should confirm whether specific engine configurations are subject to EPA emissions certification requirements before entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US tariff schedule subdivides heading 840890 by end-use (agricultural/horticultural vs. general) and then by rated output in kilowatts. General-purpose engines are tiered at thresholds of 149.2 kW, 373 kW, 746 kW, and 1,119 kW, so accurate nameplate power data is essential for correct classification.
Yes. Non-road and stationary diesel engines imported into the US must comply with EPA emissions standards under the Clean Air Act. Importers typically must demonstrate conformance with applicable Tier standards or obtain an exemption before the engines can be sold or placed into service.
