U.S. imports of non-ceramic, non-plastic insulating fittings & insulation-lined electrical conduit (HS 854790) totaled $17.3M in April 2026, traded with 33 countries.
Importers of Non-Ceramic, Non-Plastic Insulating Fittings & Insulation-Lined Electrical Conduit paid $3.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 30% on $12.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataElectrical conduit tubing and joints of base metal lined with insulating material — along with insulating fittings not made of ceramic or plastic — are grouped under this residual heading, which the US schedule breaks into four distinct 10-digit lines: fittings NESOI (8547900010), plain conduit tubing (8547900020), threaded conduit joints (8547900030), and other conduit joints (8547900040). The conduit lines are widely used in commercial construction, industrial wiring, and infrastructure projects where metal conduit with an internal insulating liner is required by electrical codes. Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with cross-border manufacturing integration under USMCA a significant factor in supply-chain planning.

The US schedule separates insulating fittings NESOI (8547900010) from conduit tubing (8547900020), threaded conduit joints (8547900030), and other conduit joints (8547900040). The product form — fitting versus tubing versus joint — and whether joints are threaded drive the classification. Each line may carry a different duty rate, so correct product-form identification is essential before filing entry.
The heading requires that the conduit or joint be of base metal lined with insulating material; the specific type of insulating liner (rubber, plastic, etc.) does not change the heading classification. However, if the conduit is made entirely of plastic rather than metal with a liner, it would be classified elsewhere — typically in Chapter 39 or under heading 3917.
