Last updated: April 2026 dataThe residual centrifuge category captures industrial, laboratory, and process centrifuges that do not fall under the dedicated cream separator or clothes-dryer headings — including pharmaceutical separators, blood-processing centrifuges, chemical process units, and high-speed laboratory models. Correct classification requires ruling out the more specific headings first; a centrifuge designed for a single dedicated use covered by another heading must be classified there. Section 301 tariff exposure is a relevant consideration for centrifuges sourced from China, making supplier diversification and first-sale valuation strategies worth evaluating.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification follows a hierarchy: if the centrifuge is purpose-built for dairy cream separation or for centrifugal clothes drying, it belongs in those dedicated headings. Only centrifuges that do not fit a more specific description — such as pharmaceutical, chemical, or general laboratory units — are classified as NES. Consulting a licensed customs broker and reviewing any available binding ruling guidance is advisable for novel or multi-function designs.
Yes. Many industrial centrifuges imported from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard column 1 duty rate. Importers should verify the applicable Section 301 list status for their specific product and consider whether alternative sourcing or first-sale valuation strategies are appropriate for their supply chain.
