U.S. imports of parts of lifting, handling, loading, or unloading machinery (nes) (SITC 74494) totaled $207.2M in April 2026, traded with 69 countries.
Importers of Parts of Lifting, Handling, Loading, or Unloading Machinery (NES) paid $30.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $188.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSITC 74494 captures spare and replacement parts for the broad universe of material-handling equipment — conveyors, cranes, hoists, and loaders — that do not fall under a more specific heading. These components are critical MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) inputs for logistics, warehousing, mining, and port operations. Because the NES designation means classification is residual, importers must rule out more specific headings (such as parts for lifts or escalators) before using this code, and should retain technical specifications to support the classification decision.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A bill of materials or engineering specification identifying the parent machine type, combined with a statement that the part does not fall under a more specific SITC or HTS heading, is the standard approach. Customs brokers often request OEM catalogs or technical drawings to confirm the residual classification is appropriate.
Mixed shipments should ideally be broken out by part type, since some components (e.g., parts for lifts or escalators) have their own dedicated headings. Where parts are genuinely interchangeable across machine types and no specific heading applies, the NES heading may cover the lot, but line-item detail on the commercial invoice reduces the risk of a customs query.
