Last updated: April 2026 dataCard clothing — the precision wire-covered flexible or rigid foundation used to open, clean, and align textile fibers on carding machines — is a consumable wear part with a dedicated classification at 8448310000. Belgium and Germany lead US supply, reflecting the concentration of specialty wire-drawing and foundation-fabric manufacturing in Western Europe. Because card clothing is specific to fiber type and machine gauge, importers typically source to tight technical specifications, and misclassification as general wire products or textile machine parts is a recurring audit risk.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Card clothing has its own dedicated 10-digit tariff line, 8448310000, separate from the broader 'parts of machines for preparing textile fibers' category under 8448320090. This distinction matters because the duty treatment and any applicable trade-remedy exposure may differ between the two lines.
Invoices should specify the wire gauge, tooth geometry (point angle and height), foundation type (flexible or rigid), and the fiber type the clothing is designed for (e.g., cotton, wool, synthetic). These details support correct classification and help CBP verify that the product is purpose-built card clothing rather than general wire-covered fabric.
