Last updated: April 2026 dataMachinery for electroplating, electrolysis, and electrophoresis serves critical finishing and surface-treatment roles across aerospace, automotive, and printed-circuit-board manufacturing. The US tariff schedule breaks this heading into four 10-digit lines, including a dedicated line for printed circuit board manufacturing equipment (8543302000) and a separate line for magnesium anodes (8543309040). China is the dominant import source, with the United Kingdom, Canada, and Germany also supplying specialized industrial equipment. Several lines sourced from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making country-of-origin documentation a key compliance consideration for importers.

The US schedule provides a dedicated 10-digit line (8543302000) specifically for electroplating and similar machines used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards, separating them from general industrial electroplating apparatus classified under other lines in this heading.
Yes. China is the leading supplier under this heading, and most lines are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the applicable list and rate for each specific 10-digit line and confirm country of origin, as even third-country assembly may not avoid Section 301 exposure if Chinese-origin components are substantial.
