Import a range hood from China: check the US model first
Before you pay, match the exact hood to a US safety listing and have your installer confirm it fits your kitchen and power supply. Ask for the model label, listing record and installation manual. Use your own quotes and broker-confirmed duties in the cost worksheet below.
No model has been approved by this guide. Range-hood duty rates are not yet in our calculator.
Match the whole hood to its listing
Ask for the legal manufacturer, full model number including suffixes, a rating-label photo, installation manual and certification file or control number. Search UL Product iQ or the Intertek ETL Listed directory yourself. Match the model, US coverage, product description and standard. A similar model or a motor-only record does not establish certification of your hood.
If the record is missing or the suffix differs, ask the certification body to confirm coverage before you pay. CE marking does not establish a US safety listing.

Have your installer check the kitchen and power supply
Send the label and manual to your electrician and kitchen installer. Have them compare voltage, frequency, current, grounding and connection method with the supply at your home. Confirm the hood dimensions, cooking-surface clearance, duct size, discharge route and any makeup-air requirement. A plug adapter does not establish electrical compatibility.
The 2024 IRC, section M1503.2, references UL 507 for domestic overhead hoods with integral fans. Local adoption and amendments decide which rules apply at your address. Have your local building department confirm the applicable code; this checklist does not cover restaurant hoods or microwave/hood combinations.

Separate energy claims from safety certification
Standalone range hoods are not listed among the covered appliances in the FTC Energy Labeling Rule reviewed here. Do not ask for a refrigerator-style EnergyGuide label as proof that a hood is compliant. ENERGY STAR has a separate ventilating-fan specification that includes eligible range hoods; verify any claimed certification for the exact model.
An energy label does not replace the safety listing. Have your installer check state and local ventilation and energy requirements for your project; this is not a finding that every hood is exempt from energy rules.

Get the classification and all duty layers in writing
Give your customs broker the model sheet, fan configuration, maximum horizontal dimension, materials, country of origin and intended use. Ask for the full HTS code, customs value, entry date and each applicable Chapter 99 measure or exclusion. A base tariff entry alone is not a total US duty quote.
USITC search returns heading 8414.60 for hoods within its dimensional scope. Treat it as a classification starting point, not a code assigned to your model. We have not established the complete current duty treatment, so this page publishes no range-hood duty rate. Do not select a furniture category in our US calculator for a hood.

Range hood cost worksheet (USD)
Add the costs for your whole order. This worksheet adds amounts you enter; it does not calculate duty or validate a quote. Leave an unknown cost blank. Enter zero only when you have confirmed that nothing is payable for that line.
Ask what each quote includes. If a delivered price already includes duty or freight, do not add it again. Include installer-quoted electrical work, ductwork and makeup air where required.
For furniture in the same shipment, use the US furniture import cost calculator separately. Its product rates do not cover range hoods.
