Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. imports of Electric Space Heating and Electric Soil Heating Apparatus (SITC 77582) totaled $99.9M in August 2026, imported from 44 countries.
Importers of Electric Space Heating and Electric Soil Heating Apparatus paid $18.9M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 19.05% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Electric Space Heating and Electric Soil Heating Apparatus imports of $99.9M in August 2026 ran 132% above the year-to-date monthly average of $43.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataElectric resistance space heaters — including baseboard heaters, panel heaters, radiant heaters, and fan-forced units — along with electric soil heating cables and mats used in agriculture and horticulture, are grouped under this heading by their shared electric resistance heating function applied to air or soil. The soil heating segment, though smaller in volume, serves greenhouse operators and specialty crop producers who rely on root-zone warming to extend growing seasons. Importers of space heaters should be aware that UL or equivalent safety certification is a practical market-entry requirement, and products subject to Section 301 measures from China should be assessed at the applicable HTS line level.

Yes, both electric space heating apparatus and electric soil heating apparatus share this SITC heading based on their common electric resistance heating function, even though their end-use sectors — residential comfort heating versus agricultural root-zone warming — are quite different. Importers should verify the correct HTS subheading at the 10-digit level, as the two product types may be separated at that level.
While CBP does not mandate a specific safety mark for customs clearance, electric space heaters sold in the US are practically required to carry certification from a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as UL, ETL, or CSA. Retailers and distributors typically require NRTL certification before accepting product, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission monitors compliance with applicable safety standards.
