Last updated: August 2026 dataClamp force is the primary classification axis for thermoplastic injection-molding machines under this heading, with US tariff lines spanning from under 50 tons (8477109030) through 50–300 tons (8477109040), 300–750 tons (8477109050), and 750 tons or greater (8477109060). Separate lines cover shoe manufacturing (8477103000), video and laser disc production (8477104000), and rubber or thermosetting resin processing (8477109015). Austria and Japan are the leading US import sources, reflecting the dominance of European and Asian precision machinery builders in this segment. Importers should verify whether units are subject to Section 301 tariffs based on country of origin, as applicability varies by supplier.

The US schedule subdivides thermoplastic injection-molding machines by clamping force: below 50 tons (8477109030), 50 to 300 tons (8477109040), 300 to 750 tons (8477109050), and 750 tons or greater (8477109060). Importers must confirm the manufacturer's rated clamp force before filing entry documents, as misclassification between these lines can affect duty liability.
No. Machines dedicated to shoe manufacturing are classified under 8477103000, a distinct tariff line from the general thermoplastic lines. The intended end-use and machine design must be documented to support this classification, and CBP may request technical specifications or manufacturer literature.
