OOG & Project Cargo Specialists
Oversized and out-of-gauge machinery requires flat-rack or open-top containers, specialized lashing, and route surveys. Our project cargo team manages the entire process from factory to facility.
Section 301 List 3 Guidance
Most industrial machinery (HS Chapter 84) falls under Section 301 List 3 at 25%. We review your specific HTS codes and identify any available product exclusions to reduce duty impact.
Fumigation & Packing Compliance
USDA requires all wooden crating and packaging to comply with ISPM 15 (heat treatment or fumigation). We coordinate ISPM 15 compliant packing at origin to prevent costly border holds.

Requisitos de Aduanas y Documentación
Industrial machinery from China (HS Chapter 84) typically falls under Section 301 List 3 at 25% tariff. Accurate HTS classification is critical — subchapters can have significantly different rates. All wooden crating and packaging must meet ISPM 15 fumigation requirements or cargo will be refused at US ports. Large machinery entering for business use may qualify for a Temporary Import Bond (TIB) for trade show or testing purposes. Equipment installed in a US facility may qualify for a drawback if later exported. CBP Form 7501 must accurately describe each piece of machinery with its serial number and country of manufacture.
Información Arancelaria Vigente
Industrial machinery and manufacturing equipment (HS Chapter 84) is primarily subject to Section 301 List 3 tariffs at 25% in addition to the standard MFN rate (typically 0–3.9% for most machinery). Total effective tariff can reach 25–29% for most machinery categories. IEEPA blanket tariffs of 2025 added further layers. Some specific machinery categories received Section 301 exclusions — importers should check the USTR exclusion database. Machine tools and precision equipment may have additional considerations under BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security) export control lists if they contain controlled technology.

Preguntas Frecuentes
What tariffs apply to machinery imported from China to the EE.UU.?
Most industrial machinery (HS Chapter 84) falls under Section 301 List 3 at 25%, on top of the standard MFN rate of typically 0–3.9%. Total effective duty rates are therefore approximately 25–29% for most machinery. Additional IEEPA tariffs imposed in 2025 may apply. Some specific machinery categories received USTR exclusions that reduce or eliminate Section 301 duties — our team checks exclusion status for every HTS code.
How do I ship oversized machinery from China to the EE.UU.?
Oversized and out-of-gauge (OOG) machinery requires specialized equipment: flat-rack containers (20ft or 40ft), open-top containers, or breakbulk shipping for very large pieces. The process includes: dimensioning and weight survey at factory, engineering review for lashing and blocking, booking with carriers that accept OOG cargo, port-to-port movement with cranes at both ends, and final inland delivery with permits for oversized road transport. Suaid Global's project cargo team manages the complete process.
What documentation is required for machinery imports from China?
Required documents include: detailed commercial invoice listing each machine by model and serial number, packing list with weights and dimensions, bill of lading, CBP Form 7501 with correct HS Chapter 84 subheadings, ISPM 15 fumigation certificate for wooden packaging, and any applicable CE marking documentation. Machinery with embedded software may require additional BIS/EAR compliance review.
How long does it take to ship machinery from China to the EE.UU.?
Standard containerized machinery: 25–35 días ocean (Shanghái to LA); 30–40 días for US East Coast destinations. OOG/flat-rack bookings may take longer due to limited vessel space and port handling requirements — allow 30–40 días plus additional lead time for booking. Air freight for critical spare parts takes 3–6 días.
What is ISPM 15 and why is it important for machinery from China?
ISPM 15 (International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures) requires that all wooden packaging materials (pallets, crates, dunnage) used in international shipments be treated to kill wood-boring insects. Treatment methods include heat treatment (HT) or methyl bromide fumigation, marked with the IPPC logo. US Customs and USDA strictly enforce ISPM 15 — non-compliant wooden packaging results in cargo refusal or fumigation at importer's expense at the US port. Suaid Global verifies ISPM 15 compliance at origin.
Can machinery from China qualify for a Section 301 exclusion?
Yes. The USTR has granted product-specific exclusions for certain machinery HTS codes, particularly for items not readily available from non-Chinese sources. Exclusions allow importers to receive a refund on Section 301 tariffs paid and continue importing at reduced or zero Section 301 rates. Exclusion programs have opened and closed multiple times — our team monitors current exclusion status and assists with exclusion applications.
