Importers of Ironing Machines and Presses for Textiles (Including Fusing Presses) paid $539K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.4% on $5.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Ironing Machines and Presses for Textiles (Including Fusing Presses) imports of $5.8M in June 2026 ran 21% above the year-to-date monthly average of $4.8M.
Last updated: June 2026 dataFusing presses and industrial ironing machines used in garment manufacturing and textile finishing enter the US under a single 10-digit line (8451300000), making classification straightforward but requiring careful product description on entry documents to distinguish fusing equipment from conventional steam presses. Germany leads US imports under this heading, reflecting the concentration of high-precision garment-finishing technology among European manufacturers, with Malaysia and Japan also among the top suppliers. These machines are critical capital equipment for apparel factories and dry-cleaning operations, and their relatively high unit values mean freight and insurance costs can significantly affect landed cost calculations.

Both fall under heading 845130 and the single US tariff line 8451300000, so the distinction does not create a classification split at the 10-digit level. However, commercial invoices should accurately describe the machine type — fusing presses apply heat and pressure to bond interlinings, while ironing machines smooth fabric — because CBP may request technical documentation to confirm the heading is correct versus adjacent machinery headings.
German manufacturers have long specialized in precision textile finishing machinery, and their equipment is widely specified by high-end apparel producers and commercial laundries for its durability and process control. This engineering reputation sustains Germany's leading position even against lower-cost competitors from Asia.
