From MFG Calcs data: Lifting and handling equipment

U.S. imports of lifting and handling equipment (headings 8427, 8428) came to $13.80B in 2025, with $1.57B in calculated duty: an effective duty of 11.4%, every duty included.

Effective duty in Sep 2026: 18.0%, against 21.1% in Sep 2025.

Largest sources in 2025: Mexico $2.30B at 4.2% effective duty; Japan $1.92B at 14.2% effective duty; Canada $1.47B at 1.8% effective duty; Germany $1.37B at 12.5% effective duty; South Korea $1.27B at 6.9% effective duty.

These are family totals from U.S. import statistics published through USITC DataWeb, not this heading's rate alone; effective duty is calculated duty as a share of customs value, an estimate, not a ruling.

About these rates

The rates are those printed in the 2026 HTS Revision 23, published by the U.S. International Trade Commission. A 10-digit statistical line takes the rates printed on the 8-digit line above it. Chapter 99 duties (Section 232, Section 301, IEEPA) depend on the product, the origin and the date, are charged on top, and are not included. A code here is a strong lead, not a ruling: confirm it with a customs broker or a CBP binding ruling.
