Industrial Furnaces and Ovens: Statutory & Effective Tariff Rates

USITC Column 1 General rates for 18 industrial furnaces and ovens HTS lines (parseable range 0%–4.2%). Effective rate Jun 2026: 9.98%; monthly history since 2023.

The short answer

The observed effective calculated-duty rate on U.S. imports of industrial furnaces and ovens was 9.98% in Jun 2026, up from 8.59% a year earlier — USITC Calculated Duties divided by covered customs value. The Column 1 General line-rate range is 0%–4.2% across 18 HTS lines in the 2026 schedule; individual lines are called “Free” only when the official General field is literally Free, which still does not determine a shipment’s final duty. Germany is the largest source, holding 17.1% of 2025 imports.
