U.S. imports of Industrial Valves (NAICS 332911) totaled $1.3B in August 2026, imported from 109 countries.
Importers of Industrial Valves paid $167.1M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 13.05% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Industrial Valves imports of $1.3B in August 2026 ran 10% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.2B.
Last updated: August 2026 dataGate, globe, ball, butterfly, and check valves designed for process-industry service — oil and gas, chemical, power generation, and water treatment — fall within this NAICS category. Procurement teams distinguish products by pressure rating, body material (carbon steel, stainless, alloy), and end-connection type, all of which affect classification and sourcing decisions. Imports in this space are subject to scrutiny under Section 232 steel and aluminum tariff frameworks when valve bodies are cast or forged from covered metals, adding a cost layer that buyers must factor into landed-cost models.

Industrial valves with bodies made from steel or aluminum alloys may be subject to Section 232 tariffs on the metal content or on the finished article, depending on the specific HTS classification. Importers should work with a licensed customs broker to determine whether a valve's classification triggers Section 232 exposure and whether any product exclusions apply.
Pressure class, actuator type (manual vs. actuated), body material, and end-connection standard (flanged, threaded, butt-weld) are the primary technical factors that drive HTS subheading selection. Misclassification based on these distinctions is a common audit finding, so detailed technical datasheets should accompany every entry.
