Importers of Jacks (NESOI) and Vehicle-Raising Hoists (NESOI) paid $3.6M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 16.01% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataNon-hydraulic jacks and vehicle-raising hoists not elsewhere specified — including scissor jacks, screw jacks, rack-and-pinion jacks, and pneumatic vehicle lifts outside the built-in garage category — classify under 842549 at tariff line 8425490000. China dominates US supply for this heading, and Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin goods, making cost management a persistent concern for importers of high-volume, lower-priced units such as scissor jacks for automotive OEM kits. Canada and Vietnam are secondary sources. The 'NESOI' (not elsewhere specified or included) character of this heading means classification here is appropriate only after confirming the goods do not meet the more specific criteria of 842541 (built-in garage systems) or 842542 (hydraulic).

Scissor jacks imported separately, even if intended for inclusion in a vehicle kit, are classified by their own essential character as jacks under 842549. They are not classified as vehicle parts under Chapter 87 unless they are imported as part of an assembled vehicle or a specifically enumerated vehicle accessory kit. If imported in bulk for aftermarket or OEM assembly, 8425490000 is the correct tariff line.
Invoices should clearly state the lifting mechanism (e.g., screw, rack-and-pinion, scissor, pneumatic), the rated lifting capacity in tons or kilograms, the minimum and maximum lift height, and whether the unit is designed for vehicle use or general industrial use. This information helps CBP confirm the goods belong under 842549 rather than a more specific subheading and reduces the risk of a classification challenge at entry.
