About This Section

Section XVI is the largest section by import value, covering machinery (Chapter 84) and electrical equipment (Chapter 85). Products range from industrial turbines and pumps to computers, smartphones, and semiconductors. Many ITA (Information Technology Agreement) products qualify for duty-free treatment globally, including computers, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and telecommunications apparatus. Section 301 tariffs of 25% apply to extensive lists of Chinese-origin machinery and electronics. Importers must verify BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security) export control classification for dual-use equipment and FCC compliance for telecommunications and radio equipment.

This section contains 834 six-digit HTS subheadings across Chapters 84, 85. Click any subheading below to view complete tariff rates, FTA preferences, and detailed import guidance.

Chapter Overview

Section XVI — Machinery and Mechanical Appliances; Electrical Equipment covers Chapters 84, 85 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The HTS is organized into 21 sections and 97 chapters, with each chapter covering a distinct category of goods. Within this section, there are 834 six-digit subheadings, each potentially containing multiple 8-digit and 10-digit statistical suffixes that specify the exact duty rate applicable to your product.

Importers should pay particular attention to the Chapter Notes at the beginning of each chapter, as these notes define the scope of the chapter and may exclude certain products or provide special classification rules that override the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI).
