U.S. imports of portable agricultural & horticultural sprayers (HS 842441) totaled $2.2M in August 2026, imported from 24 countries.
Importers of Portable Agricultural & Horticultural Sprayers paid $490K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 22.01% of the $2.2M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Portable Agricultural & Horticultural Sprayers imports of $2.2M in August 2026 ran 27% below the year-to-date monthly average of $3.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataPortable sprayers for agricultural and horticultural use — including backpack, hand-carried, and small self-contained units — are a high-volume import category dominated by China, with Canada and Italy also supplying the US market. The US schedule divides this heading between portable sprayers excluding self-contained units not over 20 liters (8424411000) and self-contained sprayers with a capacity under 20 liters (8424419000); the capacity and self-contained design criteria are the operative classification factors. Goods from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin and first-sale valuation strategies relevant for cost management. Sprayers intended for pesticide application may also require EPA registration review of any pre-loaded chemical agent.

A self-contained sprayer integrates its own pressurization mechanism (pump, compressed-air reservoir, or battery-powered motor) within the unit, so it operates without an external power or pressure source. Units that rely on a separate compressor or power supply are generally not considered self-contained and would fall under 8424411000 rather than 8424419000.
Yes — if a sprayer is imported pre-loaded with a pesticide or herbicide, the chemical agent must be registered with the EPA under FIFRA, and the product label must comply with EPA requirements. The sprayer itself is classified under 8424.41, but the chemical content triggers a separate admissibility review. Importers should ensure the pesticide registration is in place before shipment.
