SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of pneumatic continuous-action elevators & conveyors (SITC 74471) totaled $23.7M in July 2026, traded with 33 countries.
Importers of Pneumatic Continuous-Action Elevators & Conveyors paid $1.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 8.0% on $18.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Pneumatic Continuous-Action Elevators & Conveyors imports of $23.7M in July 2026 ran 52% above the year-to-date monthly average of $15.6M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPneumatic conveyors and elevators move bulk materials — grain, flour, cement, plastics pellets — through enclosed pipelines using air pressure or vacuum, eliminating mechanical contact with the product. Their dust-containment and gentle handling characteristics make them a preferred choice in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical handling facilities. Classification under SITC 74471 distinguishes pneumatic systems from all other continuous-action conveyor types, a distinction that can affect HTS heading assignment and applicable duty treatment at the US border.

Pneumatic conveyors fall under a distinct HTS subheading from belt, bucket, or chain conveyors. The specific 10-digit HTS line determines the applicable duty rate and any trade-remedy exposure, so confirming the pneumatic operating principle in technical documentation is essential before entry.
Importers should provide engineering specifications confirming the air-pressure or vacuum operating mechanism, capacity ratings, and intended application (e.g., food-grade, pharmaceutical, or industrial bulk). A licensed customs broker can help determine whether the system qualifies as a complete machine or must be entered as components under separate headings.
