Last updated: April 2026 dataImported textile and sewing machinery supplies US apparel contractors, home-furnishings manufacturers, and technical-textile producers with equipment that spans computerized embroidery machines, high-speed overlock units, and large-format quilting systems. Asian manufacturers — particularly from Japan and China — have long held strong positions in the industrial sewing machine segment, offering competitive pricing on standard lockstitch and overlock platforms. Importers should note that certain textile machinery originating from countries subject to Section 301 measures may carry additional tariff costs that affect the landed-cost comparison with domestically available alternatives.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Many industrial sewing machine categories have been subject to Section 301 additional tariffs when originating from China. The applicability depends on the specific HTS subheading, and exclusion requests have been granted for some categories in the past. Importers should verify current Section 301 status for their specific machine type with a licensed customs broker.
Complete machines and unassembled parts may classify under different HTS subheadings and carry different duty rates. Some importers have historically sourced machines in knocked-down or semi-knocked-down form to take advantage of lower parts duty rates, but CBP applies the 'essential character' and 'GRI 2(a)' rules to prevent misclassification of substantially complete machines imported as parts.
