SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of electromagnets, permanent magnets & related articles (SITC 77881) totaled $99.9M in April 2026, traded with 59 countries.
Importers of Electromagnets, Permanent Magnets & Related Articles paid $15.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $86.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataRare-earth permanent magnets — particularly neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) grades — dominate trade in this heading and are critical inputs for electric vehicle motors, wind turbine generators, and defense systems. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have historically applied to certain sintered NdFeB magnets from China, and Section 301 tariffs add a further layer of cost for Chinese-origin goods, making supply-chain origin tracking essential. The heading also covers electromagnetic chucks and clamps used in metalworking, as well as articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization, each of which may carry distinct HTS treatment.

Sintered neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets from China have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, in addition to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should check the current scope of any active AD/CVD orders with CBP and the International Trade Administration before entry, as scope rulings can determine whether a specific magnet grade or form is covered.
Unmagnetized blanks or preforms made from permanent-magnet alloy (e.g., NdFeB or SmCo) that will be magnetized after import are explicitly included in this heading alongside finished magnets. The key classification criterion is the alloy composition and intended use, not the magnetization state at time of import. Importers should declare the material composition and end use to support correct classification.
