U.S. imports of machines for working wire without removing material (HS 846330) totaled $8.7M in June 2026, traded with 23 countries.
Importers of Machines for Working Wire Without Removing Material paid $1.3M in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $8.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machines for Working Wire Without Removing Material imports of $8.7M in June 2026 ran 17% below the year-to-date monthly average of $10.4M.
Wire-working machines covered here — including multi-die continuous drawing machines, straightening and cutting lines, and spring coilers — process metal wire by deformation rather than cutting, serving the spring, mesh, cable, and fastener industries. Germany and Italy lead US imports, with Switzerland a notable source reflecting that country's precision wire-processing equipment heritage. The US schedule (lines 8463300040 through 8463300080) applies the standard condition/value split, with a $3,025 threshold separating lower- and higher-value new machines. Importers should distinguish wire-working machines from wire-drawing benches (846310) and from machines that process wire by cutting or grinding, which fall under different headings.

Classification of combination machines follows the principal function rule under GRI 3(c) or the specific machine-tool notes in Chapter 84. If the drawing/forming function is primary and the cutting is incidental to producing a finished product (e.g., cut-to-length wire), the machine may still belong under 846330. However, if the cutting function is equally significant, a binding ruling from CBP is advisable to avoid misclassification.
The primary end-use sectors are spring manufacturing (automotive suspension, industrial springs), wire mesh and fencing production, cable and rope fabrication, and fastener wire preparation. Demand tracks closely with automotive production volumes and construction activity, making import patterns for this equipment a useful proxy for downstream industrial health.
