SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing, or spraying (nes) (SITC 74565) totaled $50.5M in April 2026, traded with 47 countries.
Importers of Mechanical Appliances for Projecting, Dispersing, or Spraying (NES) paid $7.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $39.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataA residual catch-all for mechanical projecting, dispersing, and spraying appliances not elsewhere specified — this heading captures equipment that projects liquids or powders but does not fit the more specific agricultural, fire-extinguisher, spray-gun, or blasting-machine headings. Industrial humidifiers, aerosol-dispensing machines, and certain fluid-application systems for manufacturing processes are examples of equipment that may land here after exclusion from more specific provisions. Precise product descriptions and end-use documentation are essential, as classification officers will look first to the more specific headings before applying this residual provision.

Classification should follow a step-by-step exclusion process: first check whether the appliance qualifies as a fire extinguisher, spray gun, agricultural sprayer, or steam/sand blasting machine under their respective specific headings. Only after ruling out those more specific provisions should the NES (not elsewhere specified) heading be applied. Detailed technical specifications and end-use documentation are critical, and consultation with a licensed customs broker is advisable for novel or multi-function equipment.
Ultrasonic humidifiers and atomizers that disperse liquid as a fine mist through mechanical means may fall within this residual heading if they do not meet the criteria for more specific appliance headings. However, some ultrasonic devices are classified under electrothermal or ultrasonic equipment provisions depending on their operating principle. Importers should provide detailed technical specifications — particularly the atomization mechanism — to support the correct heading determination.
