U.S. exports of Extruders for Working Rubber or Plastics (HS 847720) totaled $8.8M in August 2026.
Importers of Extruders for Working Rubber or Plastics paid $801K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 15.15% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Extruders for Working Rubber or Plastics imports of $5.3M in August 2026 ran 55% below the year-to-date monthly average of $11.7M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataScrew diameter and screw count are the key specification variables that drive US tariff-line classification for plastic and rubber extruders: single-screw units are split from multi-screw configurations, and within each group the 6.4 cm screw-diameter threshold separates additional lines for thermoplastic processing. Germany and Italy are the dominant US suppliers, consistent with their global leadership in compounding and profile extrusion equipment. Extruders processing rubber or thermosetting resins fall under separate lines (8477200005 and 8477200015) from those dedicated to thermoplastics, so material type must be confirmed alongside mechanical specifications at entry.

Manufacturer technical datasheets specifying barrel temperature ranges, screw geometry, and intended resin families are the most useful supporting documents. Thermosetting and rubber extruders typically operate under different temperature and pressure profiles than thermoplastic units, and CBP may request these specs to confirm the correct tariff line.
Yes. The US schedule applies the 6.4 cm diameter breakpoint to both single-screw and multi-screw (including twin-screw) thermoplastic extruders, creating separate tariff lines above and below that threshold in each category. Importers should obtain the nominal screw diameter from the manufacturer's specification sheet before classification.
