U.S. imports of steam & sand blasting machines and similar jet projecting machines (HS 842430) totaled $58.2M in April 2026, traded with 37 countries.
Importers of Steam & Sand Blasting Machines and Similar Jet Projecting Machines paid $4.8M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $41.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSurface-preparation professionals rely on sand blasting machines (8424301000) and steam or other jet projecting machines (8424309000) for industrial cleaning, descaling, and surface finishing across construction, shipbuilding, and pipeline maintenance. Vietnam leads US imports under this heading — an unusual sourcing pattern that reflects manufacturing investment shifts in heavy industrial equipment — followed by Canada and Thailand. Goods from certain origins may be subject to Section 301 or antidumping measures depending on the specific country and product configuration, so origin documentation is critical. Importers should also confirm whether abrasive media (e.g., steel shot, garnet) is shipped with the machine, as mixed shipments can complicate classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Wet abrasive blasting machines that project a slurry of water and abrasive media are generally classified under 8424309000 (steam and similar jet projecting machines, NESOI) rather than the sand blasting line, since they do not project dry abrasive. However, the classification can depend on the machine's primary operating principle; a customs ruling request to CBP provides the most reliable guidance.
The machine and the abrasive media are classified separately under their respective HTS headings. The machine falls under 8424.30, while abrasive media such as steel shot, garnet, or aluminum oxide are classified in Chapter 26 or Chapter 28 depending on composition. Bundling them on a single commercial invoice does not merge their classifications.
