U.S. exports of machines for the manufacture of semiconductor devices or electronic integrated circuits (HS 848620) totaled $1.2B in July 2026.
Importers of Machines for the Manufacture of Semiconductor Devices or Electronic Integrated Circuits paid $2.6M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $13.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPhotolithography systems, chemical vapor deposition tools, ion implanters, and related apparatus used to fabricate semiconductor devices and ICs are classified under 8486200000 — a single 10-digit line covering the full breadth of front-end chip-making equipment. The Netherlands is the leading supplier, driven by ASML's near-monopoly on advanced extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, which are among the most complex and export-controlled machines in global trade. Japan and Singapore are also significant sources, and the entire category sits at the center of ongoing semiconductor supply-chain policy discussions, including potential export licensing requirements.

On the import side, standard commercial entry documentation applies. However, the export of many of these machines — particularly advanced lithography and deposition systems — is subject to US Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and may require an export license depending on the destination country and end-user. Importers who plan to re-export or transfer equipment should consult with export-control counsel before acquisition.
Classification follows the machine's principal function. If the primary purpose is semiconductor device fabrication (e.g., thin-film deposition), it remains under 8486200000 even if measurement is an integrated feature. If the measurement function is primary and the machine is not specifically designed for semiconductor manufacture, it may fall under a different heading. A binding ruling request to CBP is advisable for multi-function tools.
