SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of machine tools for working stone, ceramics, concrete & glass (SITC 72811) totaled $27.1M in April 2026, traded with 37 countries.
Importers of Machine Tools for Working Stone, Ceramics, Concrete & Glass paid $3.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $26.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAngle grinders, bridge saws, CNC waterjet cutters, and cold-working glass machines used in the stone fabrication, ceramics, and construction-materials industries are the principal articles in this heading, with the cold-working-of-glass specification being a key scope boundary — hot-glass forming equipment belongs elsewhere. The heading's explicit inclusion of asbestos-cement working machinery is a legacy classification feature; importers of such equipment should be aware of potential EPA and OSHA regulatory considerations in the US context. Section 301 tariffs may apply to certain machine tools of Chinese origin, a significant sourcing consideration given China's role in manufacturing lower-cost stone-working equipment.

This heading covers machines that work glass in its solid, cold state — grinding, polishing, cutting, drilling, and edge-working equipment. Machinery that works molten or semi-molten glass (furnaces, blowing machines, forming presses) is classified under separate headings for glass-industry machinery. The distinction turns on whether the glass is in a solid or molten state during the working operation.
Section 301 applicability is determined at the HTS 10-digit level and by country of origin. The buyer should identify the precise HTS subheading for the machine, confirm the country of manufacture (not just country of export), and check the current USTR Section 301 product list and any active exclusions. A licensed customs broker or trade attorney can conduct this review and advise on whether an exclusion request or alternative sourcing strategy is warranted.
