U.S. imports of electric toasters (HS 851672) totaled $10.6M in August 2026, imported from 11 countries.
Importers of Electric Toasters paid $1.9M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 17.79% of the $10.6M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Electric Toasters imports of $10.6M in August 2026 ran 31% above the year-to-date monthly average of $8.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataElectric toasters for domestic use are classified under a single 10-digit tariff line (8516720000), making the heading straightforward to classify but still subject to Section 301 tariffs for units of Chinese origin — China is the dominant supplier, with Malaysia and Indonesia also shipping meaningful volumes. Unlike other electrothermic appliances, toasters are not subdivided by capacity or wattage in the US schedule, so the primary classification question is whether the appliance is a standalone toaster or a toaster-oven combination, which would redirect it to the broader cooking-appliance heading. Italy, a notable niche supplier, tends to serve the premium countertop segment.

A combination toaster-oven that can bake or broil in addition to toasting is generally not classified under the standalone toaster heading (851672). Such units are more likely to fall under the electric ovens and cooking appliances heading (851660) based on their principal function. The key is whether the appliance's primary design purpose is toasting bread or functioning as a small oven; importers should document the product's intended use and consult a licensed customs broker.
No. The US schedule provides only a single 10-digit line (8516720000) for electric toasters, with no subdivision by wattage, slot count, or capacity. Classification complexity arises at the heading boundary — distinguishing a toaster from a toaster-oven — rather than within the heading itself.
