Last updated: April 2026 dataSweden leads US imports of paper and paperboard making machinery, with Canada and Austria also significant sources — a supplier profile shaped by the proximity of major Scandinavian and Central European paper equipment manufacturers to their home-market mill customers. The heading splits into new (8439200010) and used or rebuilt (8439200090) equipment, and the used-equipment line sees meaningful trade volume given the capital intensity of paper machine installations and the active secondary market for rebuilt forming, press, and drying sections. Importers of large-format paper machines should plan for specialized port handling and may need to coordinate with CBP on multi-shipment entry procedures for oversized equipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Large paper machines shipped in multiple lots can be entered under a single entry if all components are covered by a single commercial transaction and arrive within a reasonable timeframe. Importers should work with their customs broker to determine whether a single entry or multiple entries is appropriate, and whether a CBP ruling on the composite machine's classification is advisable before the first shipment arrives.
Yes, provided the equipment meets USMCA rules of origin. Canadian-origin paper and paperboard making machinery that satisfies the applicable tariff-shift or regional value content requirements qualifies for preferential duty treatment, and importers must maintain a valid certification of origin to claim the preference.
