U.S. exports of Used or Second-Hand Merchandise (NAICS 930000) totaled $2.1B in August 2026.
Importers of Used or Second-Hand Merchandise paid $17.7M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 1.29% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataThe six-digit schedule position for used and second-hand merchandise serves as the terminal statistical node before goods are allocated to commodity-specific tariff lines based on their underlying product category. Trade professionals should note that while this grouping captures the 'used' condition, the actual duty rate applied at entry is determined by the article's material or functional classification — used steel machinery, for instance, is dutiable under the machinery schedule, not a generic 'used goods' rate. Maintaining clear records of prior use is essential for both classification accuracy and potential audit defense.

In US practice, used goods are generally classified under the same HTS heading as their new counterparts, with the 'used' condition noted in the schedule where relevant. The duty rate is therefore driven by the product's material and function, not by a separate 'used goods' rate. Some headings do have specific provisions for used articles that carry different rates, so checking the applicable tariff schedule notes is important.
Yes. Shipments valued at or below the current de minimis threshold (Section 321) may qualify for informal entry and duty-free treatment regardless of whether the goods are new or used, provided they meet all other admissibility requirements. Importers should verify the current threshold and any applicable exclusions, as certain product categories are excluded from de minimis treatment.
