HTS heading 8907 is a broad product category for floating structures that are not classified elsewhere as vessels. It can include items such as rafts, floating tanks, cofferdams, landing stages, buoys, and beacons. These products may be designed to float, support equipment or people, mark a location, or perform a specialized water-related function.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the structure’s principal design and intended use, then review the applicable 6-digit and 8-digit subheadings. The subdivisions commonly distinguish the product by type, construction, or other identifying characteristics—not simply by the material alone. Check the full tariff wording, section and chapter notes, and any relevant Customs classification rulings before finalizing the code.
What to check
- Describe the product’s primary function, intended use, and whether it is designed for people, equipment, storage, access, or marking.
- Confirm whether the item is a complete floating structure, a component, or an accessory; components may belong in a different heading.
- Compare the product’s construction and operating features with every applicable 8-digit description, including inflatable or specialized types where relevant.
- Review the HTSUS legal notes, General Rules of Interpretation, and current statistical suffix descriptions rather than relying only on a product search result.
- Keep specifications, photographs, brochures, and prior binding rulings available to support the classification; seek a customs broker or binding ruling when the descriptions overlap.
HTS heading 8907 summary
Other floating structures is a 4-digit product category containing 2 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
