SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of electric generating sets, n.e.s. (SITC 71652) totaled $45.2M in April 2026, traded with 29 countries.
Importers of Electric Generating Sets, N.E.S. paid $3.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $27.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGenerating sets not driven by internal combustion piston engines — including turbine-driven, wind-powered, and other prime-mover configurations — fall under this residual heading when they do not fit more specific SITC categories. Gas turbine gensets used in peaker plants and portable wind-turbine generator packages are commercially significant examples. Because this is a catch-all heading, customs brokers frequently need to document the prime-mover type to defend classification and distinguish these units from IC-engine sets (71651) or standalone alternators.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Gas turbine generator sets, steam turbine gensets, wind-driven generator packages, and any other complete generating unit whose prime mover is not a reciprocating piston engine belong here. The key is that the prime mover type — not the alternator — determines which heading applies.
A technical datasheet identifying the prime mover type (e.g., gas turbine, axial-flow turbine, or wind rotor), rated output, and the integrated nature of the set is essential. If the prime mover and alternator are imported together as a functional unit, a combined invoice and packing list reflecting the complete assembly strengthens the classification position.
