U.S. imports of electric motor-powered self-propelled trucks with lifting or handling equipment (SITC 74411) totaled $160.7M in April 2026, traded with 30 countries.
Importers of Electric Motor-Powered Self-Propelled Trucks with Lifting or Handling Equipment paid $40.8M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 28% on $146.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Electric Motor-Powered Self-Propelled Trucks with Lifting or Handling Equipment imports of $160.7M in April 2026 ran 15% above the year-to-date monthly average of $140.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBattery-electric forklifts and similar self-propelled industrial trucks driven exclusively by electric motors represent the fastest-growing segment of warehouse and logistics material-handling equipment. The electric-motor specification is the defining classification criterion that separates this heading from its internal-combustion and non-lifting counterparts. Section 301 tariff exposure is a significant cost consideration for electric forklifts sourced from certain origins, and importers should confirm applicable trade-remedy treatment before contracting.

74411 is reserved for trucks whose sole motive power source is an electric motor. Trucks using internal combustion engines, hybrid drives, or other non-electric propulsion with lifting equipment fall under 74412 (N.E.S.). The power-source specification must be confirmed in the technical datasheet at entry.
No. Battery packs imported separately are generally classified under their own HTS heading for electric accumulators rather than as parts of lift trucks, unless they are purpose-built and identifiable as solely used with a specific forklift model. Importers should seek a binding ruling when the battery's design is highly specialized.
