SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of machine tools operated by electro-chemical, electron-beam, ionic-beam, or plasma arc processes (SITC 73114) totaled $13.7M in July 2026, traded with 31 countries.
Importers of Machine Tools Operated by Electro-Chemical, Electron-Beam, Ionic-Beam, or Plasma Arc Processes paid $956K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $7.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Electron-beam, ionic-beam, plasma arc, and electro-chemical machine tools represent the most technologically advanced segment of non-traditional machining, serving semiconductor fabrication, aerospace turbine manufacturing, and defense applications where atomic-level precision or extreme material removal rates are required. The breadth of processes grouped here — from electrochemical dissolution to plasma cutting — means that correct classification demands a precise understanding of the machine's primary working mechanism. Some electron-beam and ion-beam systems may also intersect with export-control regimes, warranting an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) review in addition to import classification.

Yes. High-capability electron-beam and ion-beam systems may be controlled under the Commerce Control List (CCL) and require an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) review. Importers and re-exporters should consult the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) regulations and, where applicable, coordinate with their customs broker on both import classification and export-control compliance.
The key distinction is whether the plasma arc is the primary working process for material removal or shaping. Standalone plasma cutting tables used in fabrication shops may classify differently from precision plasma-arc machine tools designed for controlled material removal. Technical documentation from the manufacturer describing the machine's design function is essential for making this determination.
