U.S. exports of machinery for molding or retreading pneumatic tires and forming inner tubes (HS 847751) totaled $2.8M in July 2026.
Importers of Machinery for Molding or Retreading Pneumatic Tires and Forming Inner Tubes paid $176K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $1.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machinery for Molding or Retreading Pneumatic Tires and Forming Inner Tubes imports of $1.8M in July 2026 ran 63% below the year-to-date monthly average of $5.0M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTire curing presses, retreading equipment, and inner-tube forming machines serve the rubber tire manufacturing and retreading industries and are split at the US tariff level between pneumatic tire molding/retreading (8477510010) and inner-tube forming (8477510090). The Netherlands and South Korea are the leading US import sources for this equipment, reflecting the geographic concentration of tire machinery builders near major rubber goods manufacturers. Retreading machinery in particular is subject to close scrutiny at classification because used or refurbished units may require additional documentation.

Both retreading and new tire molding machines fall under 8477510010, so the distinction does not affect the tariff line. However, if the equipment itself is used or refurbished rather than new, the importer may need to address condition-of-goods declarations and any applicable antidumping or safeguard considerations separately from the classification question.
Key specifications include the press type (mechanical, hydraulic, or bladder), the tire size range it accommodates, and whether it is designed for new tire production or retreading. These details help confirm classification under 8477510010 versus other machinery subheadings and may be requested by CBP as part of a post-entry audit.
