Importers of Machinery for Producing or Preparing Textile Yarns (for Looms, Knitting & Stitch-Bonding Machines) paid $94K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $693K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machinery for Producing or Preparing Textile Yarns (for Looms, Knitting & Stitch-Bonding Machines) imports of $697K in April 2026 ran 196% above the year-to-date monthly average of $235K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataClassified under a single 10-digit line (8445900000), this residual heading captures yarn-production and yarn-preparation machinery not elsewhere specified — including equipment that readies yarns for use on weaving looms (heading 8446) or knitting and stitch-bonding machines (heading 8447). Germany, Spain, and Italy are the primary US suppliers, consistent with Europe's dominance in specialized textile machinery engineering. The NESOI (not elsewhere specified or included) nature of this heading means classification here is appropriate only after confirming the article does not fall within a more specific subheading of Chapter 84. Importers dealing with multi-function preparatory lines should document each machine's principal function carefully.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This line captures preparatory machinery such as warping machines, sizing machines, and drawing-in machines that ready yarn for weaving or knitting, as well as yarn-production equipment not covered by the carding, combing, or spinning subheadings. If a machine's function matches a more specific description elsewhere in heading 8445, that specific subheading takes precedence.
Yes. Equipment sold as part of an integrated weaving or knitting line may be classified with the principal machine under GRI 3 if it is presented together and forms a functional unit. When imported separately, each machine is classified on its own merits. A binding ruling from CBP is the most reliable way to resolve classification for complex integrated systems.
