U.S. imports of non-self-propelled fork-lift & works trucks with lifting equipment (HS 842790) totaled $25.4M in April 2026, traded with 25 countries.
Importers of Non-Self-Propelled Fork-Lift & Works Trucks with Lifting Equipment paid $7.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 29% on $25.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Non-Self-Propelled Fork-Lift & Works Trucks with Lifting Equipment imports of $25.4M in April 2026 ran 40% above the year-to-date monthly average of $18.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataManually propelled or towed works trucks equipped with lifting or handling mechanisms — including hand pallet trucks with lifting forks, towed platform trucks with hoists, and non-powered aerial work platform carriers — are classified here, distinct from the self-propelled categories in 8427. China leads US imports under this heading by a wide margin, a supply pattern that subjects most lines to Section 301 tariff exposure and makes total landed-cost analysis essential for procurement. The US schedule distinguishes aerial work platform trucks (8427900020), general fork-lift and works trucks with lifting equipment (8427900040), and a residual line (8427900090). Italy and the United Kingdom are secondary sources, offering European-manufactured alternatives for buyers seeking to diversify away from China.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A hand pallet truck with a hydraulic lifting mechanism is generally classified under 8427900040 as a works truck fitted with lifting equipment, even though it is not motorized. The lifting function — not the propulsion method — is the operative classification criterion. Purely flat-bed dollies without any lifting mechanism would fall outside this heading.
Because China dominates supply under this heading, Section 301 tariffs significantly increase the landed cost of most imported units. Importers should verify the applicable Section 301 list and rate for the specific 10-digit line at the time of entry, explore first-sale valuation strategies, and assess whether sourcing from Italy, the United Kingdom, or other non-affected origins is commercially viable.
