U.S. imports of filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases (nesoi) (HS 842139) totaled $270.4M in July 2026, traded with 87 countries.
Importers of Filtering or Purifying Machinery and Apparatus for Gases (NESOI) paid $21.7M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $179.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Filtering or Purifying Machinery and Apparatus for Gases (NESOI) imports of $270.4M in July 2026 ran 10% above the year-to-date monthly average of $245.0M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataSpanning industrial dust collectors, electrostatic precipitators, gas separation equipment, and high-pressure pneumatic fluid power filters, this residual gas-filtration heading serves sectors ranging from semiconductor fabrication to power generation and metalworking. The US schedule breaks the heading into seven distinct 10-digit lines — including dust collection for machine tools (8421390105), electrostatic precipitators (8421390120), and gas separation equipment (8421390140) — making precise product description on entry documents essential. Mexico and Germany lead US imports, with China also a notable source subject to Section 301 tariff considerations.

Gas separation equipment separates a gas mixture into its component streams — for example, nitrogen-oxygen separation or natural gas processing — while industrial gas cleaning equipment removes contaminants (dust, particulates, aerosols) from a single gas stream. The operating principle and output (separated gas fractions vs. cleaned single-stream gas) are the key classification criteria.
The US schedule at 8421390160 covers pneumatic fluid power filters rated at or above 550 kPa. Filters below that threshold, or those not specifically designed for pneumatic fluid power systems, would fall under the general NESOI line 8421390190. Manufacturer pressure ratings and system design documentation should be retained to support the classification.
