U.S. imports of weighing machinery (nesoi) with maximum capacity exceeding 5,000 kg (HS 842389) totaled $1.6M in April 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Weighing Machinery (NESOI) with Maximum Capacity Exceeding 5,000 kg paid $130K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $1.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Weighing Machinery (NESOI) with Maximum Capacity Exceeding 5,000 kg imports of $1.6M in April 2026 ran 45% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTruck scales, rail weighbridges, crane scales, and other heavy-capacity weighing systems exceeding 5,000 kg maximum capacity fall here — equipment used in mining, bulk commodity terminals, scrap yards, and heavy manufacturing. The US schedule offers lines for electronic-means weighing machines (8423891000) and non-electronic types (8423899000), alongside a legacy general line (8423890000). New Zealand leads US supply for this heading — an unusual sourcing pattern that likely reflects a specialized manufacturer of livestock and agricultural weighbridges — followed by Canada and the United Kingdom. Given the infrastructure scale of these systems, importers often face extended lead times and may need to coordinate with CBP on in-bond movement to the installation site.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
New Zealand is home to specialized manufacturers of livestock weighing systems and agricultural weighbridges, which are widely used in the US cattle, sheep, and feedlot industries. These purpose-built systems — designed for animal handling environments — represent a niche but consistent import flow that elevates New Zealand's ranking in this otherwise Europe-and-Canada-dominated capital-equipment category.
Heavy weighbridges are typically shipped in modular sections as project cargo, often requiring flat-rack or breakbulk ocean freight. Importers should plan for in-bond transportation from the port of entry to the installation site, coordinate with CBP on any oversized-load permits, and ensure the commercial invoice itemizes each module separately if they are shipped in multiple containers. Installation and calibration by a certified technician is required before the scale can be used in legal-for-trade applications.
