U.S. imports of drawing or roving machines for preparing textile fibers (HS 844513) totaled $209K in June 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Importers of Drawing or Roving Machines for Preparing Textile Fibers paid $21K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $209K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Drawing or Roving Machines for Preparing Textile Fibers imports of $209K in June 2026 ran 145% above the year-to-date monthly average of $85K.
Drawing frames and roving machines attenuate and draft fiber slivers into a finer, more uniform strand in preparation for spinning — a critical intermediate step in both cotton and worsted yarn systems. Czech Republic leads US import supply for this equipment, followed by Spain and Canada. The heading resolves to a single US tariff line (8445130000), and classification requires distinguishing these drafting machines from spinning machines (844520) or earlier-stage preparation equipment such as carding or combing machines.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Drawing frames reduce sliver weight and improve fiber parallelism through multiple drafting passes; roving machines perform a final, lighter draft and add a small amount of twist to produce a roving that can be fed directly to a ring-spinning frame. Both are classified under 8445130000 because both perform the drafting/preparation function rather than the final spinning operation.
Heading 844513 covers the preparatory drafting stage — drawing and roving — while heading 844520 covers the final spinning operation that twists the roving into yarn. The boundary is the point at which twist is inserted to create a self-sustaining yarn structure. Machines that only attenuate and lightly twist for transport to the spinning frame belong under 844513.
