Importers of Poultry-Keeping Machinery (Excluding Incubators and Brooders) paid $1.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $10.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataAutomated feeding, watering, egg collection, and ventilation systems for commercial poultry houses fall here, with incubators and brooders classified separately under adjacent headings. The entire US tariff schedule consolidates these systems into a single 10-digit line, 8436290000, making precise product descriptions in entry documentation especially important for distinguishing equipment from its separately classified parts. Germany and Italy are the leading foreign suppliers, reflecting Europe's deep specialization in integrated poultry-house automation. Importers should confirm whether control electronics are classified with the machine or separately under Chapter 85.

Incubators and brooders are classified under HTS heading 8436.21, while all other poultry-keeping machinery — feeding lines, drinkers, egg belts, climate control units — falls under 8436.29. The distinction matters because the two headings carry separate tariff lines and may have different duty treatment.
Under GRI 1 and Note 4 to Section XVI, control components that are integral to and presented with the machine are generally classified with it. However, separately imported control units or sensors may be classified under Chapter 85. Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm classification for complex automated systems.
