U.S. imports of Small Electrical Appliances (NAICS 335210) totaled $1.5B in August 2026, imported from 84 countries.
Importers of Small Electrical Appliances paid $216.4M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 14.86% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Small Electrical Appliances imports of $1.5B in August 2026 ran 18% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.2B.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAt the six-digit NAICS level, this code captures the manufacturing and trade activity of small electrically powered appliances intended for household use, spanning a broad range of wattages, form factors, and end-use functions. Section 301 tariff exposure is a persistent cost driver for importers sourcing from China, and classification disputes can arise when a product straddles the boundary between a 'small appliance' and a consumer electronic device. Safety listing requirements from recognized national testing laboratories are effectively a market-access prerequisite in the US retail environment. Importers should work with customs counsel to confirm correct NAICS and HTS alignment, as misclassification can affect both duty liability and trade statistics reporting.

The distinction often turns on primary function and end use: appliances perform a physical task (heating, mixing, grooming) while consumer electronics process or transmit information or media. However, many modern products blur this line, and the correct HTS classification — which governs duty rates — should be confirmed with a licensed customs broker or trade attorney.
NAICS codes classify industries (establishments that produce goods), while HTS codes classify imported products. Trade data reported under NAICS 335210 reflects US manufacturing activity; import flows are tracked separately under HTS. Analysts comparing the two datasets should account for this structural difference.
