U.S. imports of textile drying machines (non-centrifugal), capacity not exceeding 10 kg (HS 845121) totaled $30.6M in July 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Textile Drying Machines (Non-Centrifugal), Capacity Not Exceeding 10 kg paid $8.0M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 26% on $30.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTumble dryers and other non-centrifugal drying machines for textile yarns, fabrics, and made-up articles rated at or below 10 kg dry linen capacity are split in the US schedule between coin-operated units (8451210010) and all other types (8451210090). Mexico leads supply, followed by China and Czech Republic — a mix that spans USMCA-advantaged appliance production and European manufacturers serving the residential market. Section 301 tariffs apply to Chinese-origin dryers, a factor that has reinforced Mexico's position as the primary source for US-bound residential tumble dryers. The non-centrifugal requirement distinguishes these machines from the spin dryers built into semi-automatic washers under heading 845012.

Non-centrifugal drying machines remove moisture through heat and airflow — tumbling the load in a heated drum — rather than by spinning at high speed. Centrifugal dryers (spin dryers) that are built into washing machines are classified under heading 8450, while standalone centrifugal spin dryers fall under heading 8421. This heading captures only heat-based or air-based dryers, making the drying mechanism the critical classification criterion.
The presence of coin-operation is the primary subheading criterion: a machine with a coin or card payment mechanism is classified under 8451210010 regardless of additional features such as Wi-Fi connectivity or app control. Smart features alone do not change the classification. Importers should document whether the coin-operation mechanism is functional and integral to the machine's commercial design, as CBP may request evidence that the feature is not merely incidental.
