U.S. imports of wind-powered electric generating sets (HS 850231) totaled $468K in April 2026, traded with 12 countries.
Importers of Wind-Powered Electric Generating Sets paid $53K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 27% on $195K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Wind-Powered Electric Generating Sets imports of $468K in April 2026 ran 51% below the year-to-date monthly average of $953K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataWind-powered generating sets — complete turbine systems that convert wind energy into electricity — are classified under 850231, with the US schedule capturing them in a single 10-digit line, 8502310000. Mexico leads US import supply for this heading, reflecting cross-border supply chains for wind energy components serving the US renewable energy build-out; China and the Netherlands are also notable sources. Importers should note that large wind turbine alternators designed specifically for use in these systems may be separately classified under heading 850164 when imported as standalone components, making the distinction between a complete generating set and a component a recurring classification question. Section 301 tariffs may apply to wind generating set components of Chinese origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A complete wind-powered generating set under 850231 includes the turbine, generator, and associated control equipment presented as a functional unit. Components imported separately — such as the alternator alone (potentially 850164), nacelle, blades, or tower sections — are each classified under their own applicable heading. For large utility-scale turbines that are always shipped in parts, classification of each component individually is the norm, and importers should obtain component-level classifications before shipment.
Wind generating sets and their components of Chinese origin may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Additionally, specific wind tower and blade products from China have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders. Importers should verify the current trade-remedy status of each component or complete system by HTS line and country of origin, as coverage and rates can differ significantly across product types within the wind energy supply chain.
