SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of valves for oleohydraulic or pneumatic transmissions (SITC 74720) totaled $218.7M in July 2026, traded with 73 countries.
Importers of Valves for Oleohydraulic or Pneumatic Transmissions paid $16.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $139.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Valves for Oleohydraulic or Pneumatic Transmissions imports of $218.7M in July 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $192.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataDirectional-control, flow-control, and pressure-control valves designed specifically for hydraulic and pneumatic power-transmission circuits fall under SITC 74720, distinguishing them from general-purpose pipeline valves. These components are integral to mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and aerospace actuation systems, where precise fluid-power management is essential. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports of hydraulic and pneumatic components from certain origins, making origin verification a routine step in procurement planning.

The key distinction is functional design: valves under SITC 74720 are engineered to control fluid power within hydraulic or pneumatic circuits — managing direction, flow rate, or pressure in a power-transmission context — rather than simply isolating or throttling flow in a pipeline. Documentation from the manufacturer confirming the intended circuit application supports correct classification.
Beyond standard commercial invoices and packing lists, importers should obtain technical datasheets specifying operating pressure range, fluid medium, and body material. These details are often requested during CBP review and are essential for confirming the correct tariff subheading.
