U.S. imports of molds for mineral materials (HS 848060) totaled $19.4M in April 2026, traded with 29 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMolds used to shape mineral-based materials — including concrete, cement, plaster, ceramite, and similar non-metallic, non-glass mineral compounds — classify here, with the US schedule distinguishing injection/compression types (8480600010) from all other configurations (8480600090). Canada is the leading US supplier, followed by Germany and Mexico, a North American-heavy sourcing pattern that means USMCA preferential treatment is frequently available for Canadian- and Mexican-origin molds meeting applicable rules of origin. These molds are widely used in precast concrete, refractory brick, and architectural stone production, making them a capital-goods input for construction and infrastructure sectors.

Mineral materials in this context include inorganic, non-metallic substances such as concrete, cement, plaster, gypsum, ceramics, and refractory compounds. Glass is excluded — molds for glass classify under 8480.50. Rubber and plastics are also excluded, with those molds covered by 8480.71 and 8480.79. The key is that the material being molded must be a mineral compound that is neither vitrified (glass) nor organic polymer (rubber/plastic).
Yes, provided the molds meet the applicable USMCA rules-of-origin requirements — typically a tariff classification change or regional value content threshold. Importers should obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin from the Canadian supplier and retain it for at least five years to support any post-entry audit.
