Importers of Electromechanical Hand Tools with Self-Contained Electric Motor, N.E.S. paid $28.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $178.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataA residual catch-all for electrically powered hand tools not captured by the drill or saw headings, this category encompasses grinders, sanders, polishers, planers, nailers, and similar devices — all requiring an integral electric motor. The breadth of the heading means classification disputes are common: a tool that could plausibly fit a more specific heading should be assigned there first, with this N.E.S. heading reserved only when no specific provision applies. Section 301 tariff exposure on Chinese-origin goods affects a wide range of products here, and importers should document the tool's primary function carefully to support the chosen classification.

Classification rules require that a more specific provision always takes precedence over a general or residual one. If the tool's primary function matches a named heading — such as drills or saws — it must be classified there. Only tools whose function is not specifically enumerated elsewhere should be assigned to this N.E.S. heading.
Multi-function tools are generally classified by their principal function. If the drill function predominates in design and marketing, the drill heading applies. When no single function clearly dominates, classification should be determined in consultation with a licensed customs broker, as the wrong heading can affect applicable duty rates and trade-remedy exposure.
