Last updated: July 2026 dataSpray guns and similar appliances serve finishing, coating, and surface-treatment operations across automotive, woodworking, and general manufacturing industries. China is the dominant supplier to the US market, with Mexico and Taiwan also significant sources. The US schedule separates simple piston pump sprays and bellows (8424201000) — typically low-pressure manual devices — from the broader spray gun category (8424209000), a distinction that affects both duty rates and the applicability of Section 301 measures on Chinese-origin goods. Importers should confirm whether a device qualifies as a spray gun proper or as a simpler pump-spray mechanism, as misclassification between these lines is a common audit finding.

Simple piston pump sprays and bellows are manually operated, low-pressure devices — think hand-pump garden sprayers or bellows-type applicators — with no atomizing air supply. Spray guns and similar appliances (8424209000) use compressed air or fluid pressure to atomize and project liquid coatings, and include HVLP, airless, and electrostatic spray guns used in industrial finishing.
Yes — spray guns and similar appliances originating in China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the applicable list and any exclusion orders in effect at the time of entry, as exclusion status can change. A licensed customs broker can confirm current exposure for a specific HTS line.
