U.S. imports of parts for passenger & freight elevators (excl. continuous-action), skip hoists & escalators (HS 843131) totaled $28.8M in April 2026, traded with 50 countries.
Importers of Parts for Passenger & Freight Elevators (Excl. Continuous-Action), Skip Hoists & Escalators paid $6.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 27% on $24.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataDespite the heading name excluding skip hoists and escalators, the US tariff schedule under 843131 actually includes dedicated lines for skip hoist parts (8431310020) and escalator parts (8431310040), alongside conventional elevator parts (8431310060) — a classification nuance that frequently surprises importers. Mexico leads US supply under this heading, with Canada and China also significant sources. Elevator and escalator parts often require compliance with ASME A17.1 safety codes domestically, and importers should ensure that foreign-manufactured components meet applicable US building code requirements before installation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US HTS schedule subdivides HS heading 8431.31 in a way that creates dedicated 10-digit lines for skip hoist parts (8431310020) and escalator parts (8431310040) within the same heading, even though the HS6 description references exclusions. This reflects the US schedule's granularity beyond the international HS level. Importers should always classify to the 10-digit US line rather than relying solely on the HS6 description.
Beyond customs classification, elevator and escalator components must typically conform to ASME A17.1 (Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators) and applicable state or local building codes. Importers and contractors should verify that foreign-manufactured parts carry appropriate certifications or test documentation before installation, as non-conforming parts can create liability and inspection failures.
