Last updated: August 2026 dataElectric-motor-powered pulley tackle and hoists — excluding skip hoists and vehicle-lifting hoists — are essential lifting equipment in manufacturing, warehousing, and construction, classified entirely within a single US tariff line (8425110000). Japan and Germany lead US imports under this heading, reflecting the engineering precision demanded by industrial chain hoists and wire-rope hoists used in heavy-duty applications. Section 301 tariffs affect Chinese-origin goods, and antidumping or countervailing duty orders on certain chain hoists from specific countries have historically been in force; importers should verify current order status with CBP before entry. The exclusion of skip hoists and vehicle hoists is a classification boundary that occasionally requires a ruling when a hoist serves a dual purpose.

Skip hoists are purpose-built for vertical transport of bulk materials in mining or construction — essentially bucket or cage conveyors. Hoists for raising vehicles are automotive lifts designed to elevate cars or trucks for service. Electric hoists that lift general loads (machinery, pallets, structural components) in industrial or warehouse settings fall under 8425.11, provided they are not designed primarily for either of those excluded applications.
Yes — the US has maintained antidumping duty orders on certain electric hoists from specific countries in the past. Importers should check the current CBP ADD/CVD case reference list and USITC orders before importing, as scope, rates, and country coverage can change. A licensed customs broker or trade attorney can confirm whether a specific product and origin combination falls within an active order's scope.
