U.S. imports of machinery buckets, shovels, grabs & grips (SITC 72391) totaled $43.1M in April 2026, traded with 44 countries.
Importers of Machinery Buckets, Shovels, Grabs & Grips paid $8.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $40.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataInterchangeable working tools — buckets, clamshell grabs, orange-peel grabs, and mechanical grips — designed to attach to excavators, cranes, and similar civil-engineering machinery are traded under this heading. These attachments are critical consumable and semi-durable components in mining, dredging, demolition, and bulk-material handling operations. Because they are classified as attachments rather than complete machines, their tariff treatment and valuation can differ from the host equipment, a distinction that matters when importing replacement or aftermarket tooling.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Generally yes — buckets, grabs, and grips are classified by their own character as attachments regardless of whether they accompany new equipment or are imported separately as replacements. However, when imported as a set with a complete machine, the classification of the whole unit may govern; consult a customs broker to confirm the correct treatment for bundled shipments.
Buckets are open-fronted scooping tools that rely on the machine's crowd motion to fill, while grabs (clamshell or orange-peel types) use opposing jaws that close to capture material. Both fall under this heading, but the distinction can matter for end-use documentation and for matching the correct spare-parts specification when sourcing replacements.
