Machinery for Molding or Forming Rubber or Plastics (NESOI) imports of $15.6M in August 2026 ran 34% above the year-to-date monthly average of $11.7M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCompression-molding presses, transfer-molding machines, rotational molders, and other rubber or plastics forming equipment that does not fit the more specific subheadings of heading 8477 — such as injection, blow, or thermoforming — are captured here under a single US tariff line, 8477590100. Turkey leads US imports under this residual subheading, followed by Germany and Canada, an unusual supplier profile that reflects niche machinery builders serving specific industrial segments. The NESOI (not elsewhere specified or included) character of this line means classification here should be confirmed only after ruling out all more specific subheadings.

NESOI subheadings apply only when no more specific provision covers the goods. Importers should first evaluate whether the machine's principal forming method — vacuum, thermoforming, injection, blow — places it under a named subheading. Only if none of those descriptions fits should 847759 be used. A binding ruling from CBP is the safest path when the classification is genuinely ambiguous.
Rotational molding machines are generally classified here because they are not injection, blow, or thermoforming machines and do not fit the other named subheadings of 8477. Importers should document the forming process — slow rotation in a heated oven — in their classification rationale to support entry under 8477590100.
