Last updated: April 2026 dataTruck-mounted cranes, loader cranes, and similar lifting equipment engineered specifically to be bolted onto road vehicle chassis — rather than self-propelled or fixed — occupy this heading, with a single 10-digit line (8426910000) covering the full scope. Canada is the leading US import source, a supply relationship supported by USMCA's preferential duty framework. These units are commercially central to utility, construction, and municipal service fleets, where the crane is an accessory to the vehicle rather than a standalone machine. Correct classification depends on confirming the equipment is designed for road-vehicle mounting; units intended for industrial or marine fixed installation would fall elsewhere in Chapter 84.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — the heading covers equipment designed for mounting on road vehicles regardless of whether it is imported with or without the vehicle. The design intent (road-vehicle mounting) governs classification, not whether the crane arrives pre-installed. Supporting documentation such as installation manuals or manufacturer specs confirming road-vehicle compatibility is advisable.
Canada is the leading supplier under this heading, and qualifying goods of Canadian origin benefit from USMCA preferential treatment, potentially reducing or eliminating the general rate of duty. Importers must ensure the equipment meets USMCA rules-of-origin requirements and present a valid certification of origin at entry.
