Last updated: July 2026 dataMetallic composite gaskets — combining metal sheeting with non-metallic layers such as graphite, PTFE, or fiber — are critical sealing components in engines, pipelines, pressure vessels, and industrial process equipment. The heading also covers complete sets or assortments of gaskets, which are commonly imported as maintenance kits for machinery overhaul. Spiral-wound and multi-layer steel gaskets used in high-temperature, high-pressure applications are among the most technically demanding products in this category. Importers should note that steel-content gaskets from certain origins may be subject to Section 232 tariffs on the steel component.

Yes, sets or assortments of gaskets and similar joints are explicitly covered by this heading. When imported as a kit, the set is classified as a whole under this heading rather than broken out by individual component material, provided the gaskets are the essential character of the kit.
Gaskets containing steel or aluminum sheeting from origins subject to Section 232 measures may carry additional duties. The applicability depends on the country of origin and whether any product exclusions have been granted for the specific gasket type. Consulting a customs broker to review the current exclusion register is advisable before importing high-volume gasket shipments.
