Last updated: August 2026 dataNon-centrifugal drying machines for textile yarns, fabrics, and made-up articles with a dry linen capacity exceeding 10 kg serve commercial laundry, garment finishing, and industrial textile processing operations. The US tariff schedule divides this heading into machines for drying made-up articles (8451290010) and all other drying machines (8451290090), a distinction that matters when classifying tunnel finishers versus batch dryers. Mexico and South Korea are the leading US suppliers, with China and Germany also contributing meaningfully to import volumes. Importers should note that goods sourced from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation a key compliance step.
