U.S. imports of machines for extruding, drawing, texturing or cutting manmade textile materials (HS 844400) totaled $316K in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Machines for Extruding, Drawing, Texturing or Cutting Manmade Textile Materials paid $32K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $316K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machines for Extruding, Drawing, Texturing or Cutting Manmade Textile Materials imports of $316K in April 2026 ran 75% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSpecialized capital equipment used to convert polymer melts and solutions into synthetic filaments — through extrusion, drawing, texturing, or cutting — is classified here, serving the manmade fiber industry as a foundational production input. The US schedule divides the heading into texturing machines (8444000010) and all other extruding, drawing, or cutting machines (8444000090). Germany and Italy are the leading US import sources, consistent with European dominance in high-precision textile machinery manufacturing.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Texturing machines impart crimp, curl, or bulk to already-formed synthetic filaments to improve hand and elasticity — a post-drawing process. Extruding and drawing machines, by contrast, form the filament from raw polymer. The US schedule separates texturing machines (8444000010) from extruding, drawing, and cutting machines (8444000090) because they represent distinct stages of the manmade fiber production process.
Possibly. If a machine integrates functions that span multiple headings — for example, combining fiber formation with a subsequent textile preparation step — classification may shift to a different heading based on the machine's principal function. Importers of integrated production lines should obtain a binding ruling or consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct heading before entry.
