U.S. imports of fire extinguisher preparations, charges & extinguishing grenades (SITC 59894) totaled $831K in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Fire Extinguisher Preparations, Charges & Extinguishing Grenades paid $86K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $739K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataClassified among specialty chemical preparations, fire extinguisher charges encompass the active suppression agents—dry chemical, CO₂, halon alternatives, and wet chemical formulations—pre-loaded into cylinders or grenade-style devices. The distinction between a charged grenade and a refill charge matters for both classification and DOT hazardous-materials shipping requirements, since pressurized or reactive contents trigger separate transport labeling. Importers should confirm whether the product enters as a finished device or as a bulk preparation, as that determination drives the applicable tariff treatment and any EPA Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) review for ozone-depleting substitutes.

A charged grenade is a complete, ready-to-deploy device, while a preparation or charge is the chemical fill intended for loading into an extinguisher. The distinction affects both the SITC/HTS heading and DOT hazardous-materials packaging requirements, since pressurized or reactive formulations must meet specific labeling and container standards at the port of entry.
Yes. Halon and certain halon-alternative agents fall under EPA oversight through the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program, which evaluates ozone-depleting substance substitutes. Importers of halon-containing charges must also comply with Clean Air Act provisions governing controlled substances, and should verify current EPA acceptance status before shipment.
