U.S. imports of valves for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions (HS 848120) totaled $218.7M in July 2026, traded with 73 countries.
Importers of Valves for Oleohydraulic or Pneumatic Transmissions paid $16.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $139.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Valves for Oleohydraulic or Pneumatic Transmissions imports of $218.7M in July 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $192.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataDirectional control and flow control valves for oleohydraulic and pneumatic transmissions are foundational components in mobile equipment, industrial automation, and aerospace actuation systems, where precise fluid routing determines machine performance and safety. Eight 10-digit lines segment this heading by actuation method and medium — manual hydraulic directional control (8481200010), solenoid hydraulic directional control (8481200020), hydraulic flow control (8481200040), solenoid pneumatic directional control (8481200060), and several NESOI lines for both hydraulic and pneumatic types. Mexico and Germany are the top two US import sources, with Japan and Italy also prominent, reflecting the heading's strong ties to automotive and industrial machinery supply chains. Goods of certain origins may be subject to Section 301 or other trade-remedy measures depending on the specific tariff line.

A valve designed to function in both hydraulic and pneumatic circuits should be classified according to its primary or principal use. If the primary use cannot be determined from design specifications, CBP's General Rules of Interpretation — specifically GRI 3(c) — direct classification under the heading that appears last in numerical order. A binding ruling from CBP is the most reliable path when dual-function design creates genuine ambiguity.
The US schedule explicitly separates solenoid-actuated directional control valves (8481200020 for hydraulic, 8481200060 for pneumatic) from manually actuated and other types. This distinction affects not only the tariff line but potentially the applicable Section 301 list treatment for Chinese-origin goods, since different lines within the same heading can carry different trade-remedy exposure. Confirming actuation type in the product's technical documentation is essential before filing entry.
