SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of condensers for steam or other vapor power units (SITC 71122) totaled $2.7M in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Condensers for Steam or Other Vapor Power Units paid $6K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 0.2% on $2.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Condensers for Steam or Other Vapor Power Units imports of $2.7M in April 2026 ran 242% above the year-to-date monthly average of $783K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSurface condensers and jet condensers used in steam turbine power cycles—including utility-scale power plants, cogeneration facilities, and industrial process units—are captured here. These large heat-exchange vessels convert exhaust steam back to condensate, and their size and metallurgy (titanium, stainless, or admiralty brass tube bundles) are key specification variables that affect both pricing and classification. Given the heavy steel and copper content of large condenser shells, importers should assess whether Section 232 tariff exposure applies to the base metals incorporated in the equipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The tube material (titanium, stainless steel, copper alloy, etc.) does not change the classification of the condenser as a whole under this heading, but it is commercially significant for specification compliance and may affect the value declared for duty purposes. Material certifications are typically required by the end-user for ASME or power-plant acceptance testing.
Large condensers are frequently shipped in sections due to dimensional constraints. US customs rules allow unassembled or disassembled goods to be classified as the complete article if the importer can demonstrate the sections form a single complete unit. Advance ruling requests or binding rulings from CBP can provide certainty before shipment, especially for high-value capital equipment.
