U.S. imports of asphalt mixing machines (mineral substances with bitumen) (HS 847432) totaled $1.1M in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Importers of Asphalt Mixing Machines (Mineral Substances with Bitumen) paid $63K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $630K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Asphalt Mixing Machines (Mineral Substances with Bitumen) imports of $1.1M in April 2026 ran 55% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAsphalt plant equipment — drum-mix and batch-mix plants that blend aggregate with bitumen to produce hot-mix asphalt — is classified here, serving road construction and pavement rehabilitation projects. Spain leads US imports under this heading, followed by Germany and Italy, reflecting European dominance in high-capacity asphalt plant engineering. The single US tariff line (8474320000) covers all configurations, so importers of modular or relocatable asphalt plants should confirm that the equipment's principal function is bitumen-mineral mixing rather than aggregate drying or screening, which could shift classification to adjacent headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A complete asphalt plant imported as a functional unit is classified according to its principal function, which is the mixing of mineral substances with bitumen. Under GRI 1 and Note 4 to Section XVI, composite machines performing a single defined function are classified by that function. The integrated dryer and screening components are considered ancillary to the mixing operation, so 8474.32 applies to the complete plant. Importers should retain engineering documentation confirming the plant's primary design purpose.
Asphalt plants from Spain, Germany, or Italy are typically shipped as heavy-lift or break-bulk cargo due to the size and weight of individual modules. Lead times from order to port delivery commonly range from several months to over a year for custom-configured plants. Importers should coordinate with a freight forwarder experienced in project cargo, confirm port-of-entry crane capacity, and arrange bonded transport if the equipment will be moved inland before formal entry.
