Last updated: April 2026 dataInjection and compression molds for rubber or plastics are precision tooling components central to high-volume manufacturing across footwear, automotive, consumer goods, and semiconductor packaging. The US schedule breaks this heading into four 10-digit lines: shoe molds (8480711000), semiconductor device molds (8480714000), injection-type molds not elsewhere specified (8480718045), and compression-type molds not elsewhere specified (8480718060). Canada leads US import supply, followed by China and Germany, reflecting both proximity-driven tooling partnerships and the global precision-machining capabilities of European suppliers. Imports from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin and classification review a key step before entry.
