SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of parts of lifting & handling machinery (SITC 74492) totaled $146.6M in July 2026, traded with 65 countries.
Importers of Parts of Lifting & Handling Machinery paid $30.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 23% on $135.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCovering the broader universe of spare and replacement parts for cranes, conveyors, escalators, and other lifting and handling equipment, SITC 74492 is a widely used heading in industrial MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) trade. The classification challenge here mirrors that of 74491: parts must be shown to be principally used with lifting or handling machinery rather than being generic mechanical or structural items classifiable elsewhere. Section 301 tariffs have made country-of-origin analysis particularly important for this heading, as a significant share of global parts production is concentrated in countries subject to those measures.

SITC 74491 covers parts of the more specific equipment types — pulley tackle, hoists, winches, capstans, and jacks — while 74492 serves as the broader residual for parts of other lifting and handling machinery such as conveyors, escalators, and cranes. Correct assignment requires identifying the parent machine first, then determining whether a more specific parts heading applies before defaulting to the general 74492 category.
Useful documentation includes the OEM part number and the parent machine's model and HTS classification, engineering drawings showing the component's fit and function within the larger assembly, and the supplier's commercial invoice describing the part's intended use. CBP may request this information during examination, and having it organized in advance reduces the risk of delay or reclassification.
