Last updated: April 2026 dataGarage-type built-in jacking systems — in-ground hydraulic lifts, scissor platforms, and flush-mounted vehicle hoists designed to be permanently installed in automotive service bays — occupy a distinct classification niche separate from portable jacks and general-purpose hoists. Their design for permanent installation and exclusive use in raising vehicles for service or storage is the defining characteristic. Automotive aftermarket distributors and garage equipment importers should confirm that the unit's installation method and intended use align with this heading rather than the broader hydraulic jack category at 74443.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Generally yes, if the lift is designed for permanent installation in a garage or service facility and its primary purpose is raising vehicles for maintenance. Above-ground two-post and four-post lifts that are bolted to the floor are typically treated as built-in systems. Portable or bottle jacks intended for roadside use fall under different headings. Confirm the specific design with a customs broker before filing.
While CBP does not impose a mandatory pre-import safety certification, garage vehicle lifts sold in the US are expected to meet ANSI/ALI ALCTV standards, and OSHA regulations govern their use in commercial workplaces. Some states require third-party certification before installation. Importers should ensure their products carry appropriate certifications to avoid liability and market-access issues, even though these are post-entry requirements rather than customs admissibility conditions.
