U.S. imports of machinery for extracting or preparing animal, vegetable & microbial fats or oils (HS 847920) totaled $547K in April 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Importers of Machinery for Extracting or Preparing Animal, Vegetable & Microbial Fats or Oils paid $45K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $439K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machinery for Extracting or Preparing Animal, Vegetable & Microbial Fats or Oils imports of $547K in April 2026 ran 52% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataClassified under a single 10-digit line (8479200000), this heading covers industrial equipment used to extract and process edible and industrial oils from animal tissues, oilseeds, and microbial sources — a critical input sector for food manufacturing, biodiesel production, and oleochemical refining. China is the leading supplier of this equipment to the US market, with Denmark and Malaysia also notable sources. Importers should confirm that equipment designed for specific feedstocks (e.g., palm oil versus soybean) is not more specifically classifiable under pressing or filtering machinery headings 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 2022 HS revision explicitly added microbial fats and oils to this heading, so equipment designed for fermentation-derived lipid extraction now falls under 8479200000 alongside traditional animal and vegetable oil machinery. Importers of newer bioprocessing equipment should confirm the machine's function aligns with extraction or preparation rather than fermentation, which may point to a different heading.
Potentially. Presses of a general nature may be classifiable under other Chapter 84 headings depending on their design and the specificity of their application. Equipment purpose-built for oilseed extraction is most defensibly placed at 8479200000, but multi-use hydraulic or mechanical presses warrant a classification analysis, ideally supported by a binding ruling request to CBP.
