U.S. imports of hand tools with self-contained nonelectric motors (SITC 74512) totaled $19.5M in April 2026, traded with 32 countries.
Importers of Hand Tools with Self-Contained Nonelectric Motors paid $2.9M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 25% on $11.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPortable hand tools powered by an internal combustion or other self-contained nonelectric motor — such as gasoline-powered cut-off saws, hydraulic rescue tools, and combustion-driven nailers — serve construction, emergency response, and forestry applications where electrical or compressed-air supply is unavailable. The self-contained motor requirement is the defining classification criterion: tools that draw power from an external source (pneumatic or electric) fall under adjacent headings. Importers should verify engine displacement and fuel type in product documentation, as these details can affect both classification and EPA emissions compliance for small engines.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Small nonroad engines in portable hand tools are subject to EPA emissions certification requirements. Importers must confirm that the engine meets applicable EPA nonroad emission standards before entry; non-compliant engines can be refused admission or require costly modifications.
If the hydraulic power pack is integral to the tool unit and not an external supply, the assembly generally qualifies as a self-contained nonelectric motor tool under this heading. If the tool connects to a separate hydraulic power unit, classification may shift to a different heading. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for borderline configurations.
