U.S. imports of parts for electric welding, brazing & hot metal spraying machines (HS 851590) totaled $36.5M in April 2026, traded with 52 countries.
Importers of Parts for Electric Welding, Brazing & Hot Metal Spraying Machines paid $5.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $31.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Parts for Electric Welding, Brazing & Hot Metal Spraying Machines imports of $36.5M in April 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $42.4M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAftermarket and OEM replacement parts for the full range of electric welding, brazing, soldering, and hot-metal-spraying equipment are captured here, split between welding machine parts (8515902000) and brazing and soldering equipment parts (8515904000). Germany and Japan are the leading sources, consistent with their dominance in the parent capital-equipment categories, while China also contributes significantly. Correct parts classification requires linking the component to its parent machine type — a torch body, control board, or nozzle assembly may classify differently depending on whether the host machine is a resistance welder, arc welder, or ultrasonic unit. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin parts, adding landed-cost considerations for maintenance buyers sourcing from multiple origins.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification of welding machine parts depends on the principal machine the part is designed for. If a part is exclusively or principally used with a specific machine type, it follows that machine's parts provision. When a component is genuinely common to multiple machine types, General Rule of Interpretation 3 and relevant Section XVI notes guide the analysis. A licensed customs broker should review technical drawings and the supplier's bill of materials to determine the correct 10-digit line.
No — consumable welding electrodes, filler wire, and flux-coated rods are generally classified under their own dedicated headings (e.g., heading 8311 for wire and rods for welding), not as parts of welding machines under 851590. Only structural or functional components of the machine itself belong here.
