U.S. imports of portal or pedestal jib cranes (HS 842630) totaled $764K in June 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Portal or Pedestal Jib Cranes paid $67K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $666K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Portal or Pedestal Jib Cranes imports of $764K in June 2026 ran 89% below the year-to-date monthly average of $6.9M.
Portal and pedestal jib cranes are fixed-structure lifting systems widely used in shipyards, steel mills, and heavy fabrication facilities, where their rotating boom geometry suits repetitive load positioning over a defined work area. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit tariff line, 8426300000, simplifying classification but not eliminating scrutiny — imports from Germany and Belgium, the leading suppliers, may warrant review under Section 301 or other trade-remedy frameworks depending on origin. South Korea is also a notable source, and KORUS provides a preferential duty framework for Korean-origin equipment. Buyers should confirm whether the crane is permanently mounted or mobile, as that distinction can redirect classification toward other headings in Chapter 84.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Portal and pedestal jib cranes rotate around a fixed vertical mast or portal structure and are classified under 8426300000. Overhead traveling cranes run on elevated rails spanning a bay and fall under a different heading (8426). The key classification test is whether the crane's primary motion is rotation around a fixed point versus linear travel along a runway.
From a classification standpoint, yes — there is only one 10-digit line. However, duty treatment can still vary by country of origin due to trade-remedy orders, free-trade-agreement eligibility, or Section 301 measures, so origin documentation remains critical even when the tariff line is undivided.
