U.S. imports of hand-operated spanners, wrenches & interchangeable spanner sockets (SITC 69530) totaled $70.4M in July 2026, traded with 57 countries.
Importers of Hand-Operated Spanners, Wrenches & Interchangeable Spanner Sockets paid $14.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 21% on $66.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTorque meter wrenches, adjustable spanners, and interchangeable socket sets are essential MRO and assembly-line consumables across automotive, aerospace, and industrial maintenance sectors. Tap wrenches are explicitly excluded from this grouping and classify elsewhere, making the tap-wrench distinction a recurring classification edge case for importers of mixed tool assortments. Goods of Chinese origin in this category are broadly subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that has driven sourcing diversification toward other manufacturing hubs.

Yes — torque meter wrenches are explicitly included in this SITC category alongside conventional hand-operated spanners and wrenches. However, tap wrenches are explicitly excluded and classify under a separate heading, so mixed shipments containing tap wrenches require split classification.
Standard commercial entry documentation applies: a commercial invoice detailing unit counts, materials, and country of origin; a packing list; and a bill of lading or airway bill. If the goods originate from a country subject to antidumping or Section 301 orders, a certificate of origin or manufacturer's declaration may also be required to support the declared origin.
