Last updated: July 2026 dataNon-self-propelled derricks and cranes not elsewhere specified — including stationary derricks, truck-mounted cranes where the truck is classified separately, and fixed-base lifting booms — round out the SITC 744 crane family as the residual non-mobile category. Classification here requires confirming both that the equipment lacks its own propulsion and that it does not fit a more specific heading such as 74431 (fixed-support overhead cranes) or 74435 (portal/pedestal jib cranes). For oil-field and construction derricks in particular, the structural steel content may bring Section 232 considerations into the duty calculation.

When a crane is permanently mounted on a truck chassis and the crane function is primary, the combined unit is generally classified as a crane rather than a motor vehicle. However, if the truck is imported separately from the crane superstructure, each component is classified independently. The degree of integration and which function predominates are the key factors; a licensed customs broker should review the specific configuration.
Oil-field drilling derricks are typically stationary, non-self-propelled structures used to support drill strings rather than to transport loads horizontally — a function distinct from overhead travelling cranes or portal jib cranes. Because no more specific SITC heading captures them, they default to 74439. Importers should document the derrick's function and structural design clearly in the entry to avoid reclassification disputes.
