Importers of Molds for Glass paid $646K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $3.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Molds for Glass imports of $4.1M in April 2026 ran 17% above the year-to-date monthly average of $3.5M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGlass molds — used in container, tableware, optical, and specialty glass production — split in the US schedule between injection/compression types (8480500010) and all other configurations (8480500090), with the latter covering the blow-and-blow and press-and-blow tooling dominant in container glass manufacturing. Croatia leads US imports under this heading, a reflection of that country's specialized glass mold manufacturing industry serving European and North American glassmakers; China, Thailand, and Italy are also significant sources. Mold material (typically cast iron, ductile iron, or bronze alloy) and surface finish tolerances are the primary specification variables that affect both price and classification confidence.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Croatia has a long-established precision foundry and machining industry specializing in glass container molds, serving major global glassmakers. Croatia is an EU member state, and the US does not have a free-trade agreement with the EU, so Croatian-origin molds enter at standard MFN duty rates without preferential treatment.
The invoice should identify the forming process — injection or compression versus blow-and-blow, press-and-blow, or other gravity/centrifugal methods — along with the mold material, cavity count, and the type of glass product being formed. This process description is the primary basis for distinguishing the injection/compression line from the NESOI line and should be supported by engineering drawings if CBP requests additional documentation.
