Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the residual category within the continuous-action conveyor family, SITC 74479 captures non-pneumatic systems that are neither designed for underground use, nor of the bucket or belt type — including chain conveyors, slat conveyors, roller conveyors, and screw (auger) conveyors used across food processing, automotive assembly, and logistics. The 'not elsewhere specified' scope means classification here requires ruling out all the more specific SITC lines first, making precise technical documentation critical. Screw conveyors used in food or feed applications may intersect with FDA or USDA facility requirements depending on the commodity handled.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Chain-and-flight conveyors, slat conveyors, drag conveyors, screw or auger conveyors, and overhead power-and-free systems are common examples. Each must be evaluated against the more specific SITC lines (pneumatic, underground, bucket, belt) before defaulting to the NES heading.
A screw (auger) conveyor moves material along a helical flight inside a trough or tube and does not use discrete buckets or a continuous belt as its primary conveying element. It therefore does not qualify under the bucket-type (74473) or belt-type (74474) headings and is properly classified in the NES category, provided it is not pneumatic or designed for underground use.
