U.S. exports of Non-Electric Machinery Parts, Not Elsewhere Specified (HS 848790) totaled $63.2M in August 2026.
Importers of Non-Electric Machinery Parts, Not Elsewhere Specified paid $5.7M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 14.05% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataA residual catch-all for non-electrical mechanical parts that cannot be classified under a more specific heading in Chapter 84, this subheading covers two distinct 10-digit lines: oil seals (excluding those of Chapter 40 rubber) classified under 8487900040, and all other non-electric machinery parts not specified elsewhere (8487900080). Mexico and Germany are the top two supplier countries, with Canada close behind — a supply profile that reflects deep North American manufacturing integration as well as European precision-parts expertise. Because this is a residual heading, CBP scrutinizes entries carefully; importers must demonstrate that no more specific classification applies before using it.

Oil seals made primarily of rubber are classified under Chapter 40 (specifically heading 4016), not under 8487900040. The 8487900040 line covers oil seals made of other materials — such as PTFE, metal, or composite constructions — that are excluded from Chapter 40. Importers should confirm the primary material composition and consult the relevant chapter notes before classifying seals under this heading.
CBP expects importers to conduct a thorough classification analysis demonstrating that the part does not fall under any specific parts provision in Chapter 84 or another chapter. Supporting documentation should include a description of the part's function, the machine it serves, and a written classification rationale explaining why each potentially applicable specific heading was considered and rejected. A binding ruling from CBP provides the strongest protection against reclassification.
