U.S. imports of weighing machinery (nesoi) with capacity exceeding 30 kg but not exceeding 5,000 kg (HS 842382) totaled $23.6M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.
Importers of Weighing Machinery (NESOI) with Capacity Exceeding 30 kg but Not Exceeding 5,000 kg paid $924K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $5.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPlatform scales, floor scales, and industrial bench scales in the mid-capacity range — above 30 kg but not exceeding 5,000 kg — serve warehouse, manufacturing, and logistics applications where pallet and drum weighing is routine. The US schedule provides lines for digital electronic types (8423820010) and non-electronic or residual types (8423820050), with a legacy single-line code (8423820000) also present. Mexico leads US supply for this heading, followed by Germany and China, a sourcing pattern that reflects both nearshore assembly and the global reach of German precision-weighing OEMs. Importers of floor scales intended for legal-for-trade use in commercial transactions must ensure NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program) certification before deployment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
NTEP certification, administered by the National Conference on Weights and Measures, confirms that a scale model meets NIST Handbook 44 accuracy requirements for commercial use in the US. It is not a CBP admissibility requirement — scales can be imported and cleared without NTEP approval — but uncertified scales cannot legally be used in commercial transactions subject to state weights-and-measures regulation. Importers should confirm NTEP status with the manufacturer before committing to large orders intended for retail or custody-transfer use.
The 8423.82 heading covers scales with capacity exceeding 30 kg but not exceeding 5,000 kg, so a scale rated at exactly 5,000 kg falls within this subheading. A scale rated above 5,000 kg would move to 8423.89. Importers should use the manufacturer's rated maximum capacity as stated in the technical specification sheet, and retain that documentation in case CBP requests it during a post-entry review.
