8434.10.00

Analysis

HTS 8434.10.00 covers milking machines and dairy machinery, and parts thereof: milking machines under heading 8434 (milking machines and dairy machinery, and parts thereof).

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 61% of the 823 tariff lines in chapter 84 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

The other lines in the same group are 8434.20.00 (milking machines and dairy machinery, and parts thereof…, duty-free) and 8434.90.00 (milking machines and dairy machinery, and parts thereof…, duty-free).

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing), an industry of 1,120 US establishments employing 69,047 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.

All 2 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.

Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
