U.S. imports of dry-cleaning machines for textile yarns, fabrics & made-up articles (HS 845110) totaled $634K in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Importers of Dry-Cleaning Machines for Textile Yarns, Fabrics & Made-Up Articles paid $63K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $634K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Dry-Cleaning Machines for Textile Yarns, Fabrics & Made-Up Articles imports of $634K in April 2026 ran 16% below the year-to-date monthly average of $750K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataIndustrial and commercial dry-cleaning machines that process textile yarns, fabrics, and made-up articles using solvent-based cleaning rather than water are classified under a single US tariff line (8451100000). Italy and Germany dominate supply, reflecting the concentration of solvent-cleaning technology expertise in those countries. Environmental compliance is a significant operational consideration for these machines, as the solvents used — particularly perchloroethylene — are regulated by the EPA, and equipment specifications must align with applicable state and federal air-quality standards. South Korea and China are also notable sources for more price-competitive commercial units.

The machines themselves do not require FSIS, APHIS, or FDA review. However, importers should verify that the machine's solvent-handling systems comply with EPA regulations governing hazardous air pollutants, particularly if the unit is designed for perchloroethylene. Some states impose additional equipment certification requirements before a dry-cleaning machine can be placed into commercial service, so end-use compliance review should accompany the import process.
The key distinction is the cleaning medium: dry-cleaning machines use organic solvents (such as perchloroethylene, hydrocarbon, or silicone-based fluids) rather than water as the primary cleaning agent. Water-based washing machines, regardless of their commercial scale, fall under heading 8450. If a machine uses both water and solvent in separate cycles, classification depends on the principal cleaning function, which should be supported by the manufacturer's technical documentation.
