Last updated: April 2026 dataBucket elevators and conveyors move bulk materials — grain, cement, fertilizer, aggregates — vertically or along inclines using a series of attached buckets on a belt or chain loop, making them a primary handling solution in agriculture, construction, and chemical processing. All surface-use bucket-type units enter under a single tariff line (8428320000), with no further subdivision by capacity or drive type. Canada is the leading US import source for this equipment, with Italy and the United Kingdom also significant suppliers. Buyers sourcing from China should be aware that certain industrial machinery from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The defining feature is the use of discrete buckets attached to a belt or chain to carry material, versus a flat or troughed belt that carries material directly on its surface. Bucket elevators are typically used for vertical or steep-incline movement of granular or lumpy bulk materials, while belt conveyors handle horizontal or gentle-incline transport. If a unit uses both mechanisms, classification follows the component that gives it its essential character.
Bucket-type continuous-action elevators and conveyors classified under 8428320000 may be subject to Section 301 tariffs when imported from China. Importers should confirm the current Section 301 list status and any applicable exclusions with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as the scope and exclusion landscape can change.
