U.S. imports of Parts & Accessories for Office Machines, Printers, Copiers & Fax Machines (SITC 75197) totaled $411.5M in August 2026, imported from 71 countries.
Importers of Parts & Accessories for Office Machines, Printers, Copiers & Fax Machines paid $45.3M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.16% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataReplacement and aftermarket components for the full range of office machines covered by SITC 751 — including printer cartridges, drum units, fuser assemblies, ADF rollers, and copier optical components — trade under this parts heading. Classification of parts can be contentious when a component is also sold for use in ADP equipment, since ADP parts carry their own heading; the principal-use or sole-use test typically governs. Section 301 tariff exposure on parts sourced from certain origins can significantly affect total landed cost for importers supplying aftermarket service networks.

Toner and ink cartridges are generally classified as parts or accessories of the machines for which they are designed when they are integral to the machine's printing function. However, classification can vary depending on whether the cartridge is presented separately or with the machine, and some cartridge types have been the subject of CBP rulings placing them under chemical or ink headings. Importers should obtain a binding ruling or consult a licensed customs broker for high-volume cartridge imports.
Technical drawings, OEM part numbers, and the manufacturer's parts catalog identifying the component's compatible machine models are the most persuasive documentation. If the part is designed exclusively for a printer, copier, or fax machine and is not interchangeable with ADP equipment, that sole-use evidence supports classification here. Cross-compatible parts used in both office machines and computers require a principal-use analysis based on actual sales data.
