U.S. imports of molds for metal or metal carbides, other than injection or compression types (HS 848049) totaled $3.2M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Molds for Metal or Metal Carbides, Other Than Injection or Compression Types paid $684K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 23% on $3.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Molds for Metal or Metal Carbides, Other Than Injection or Compression Types imports of $3.2M in April 2026 ran 38% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGravity-pour, centrifugal, and other non-injection/non-compression molds for metal and metal carbide casting classify here, with a notable US-schedule subdivision for centrifugal casting molds used specifically in ductile iron pipe production (8480490010) — a line relevant to water and wastewater infrastructure supply chains. China is the leading supplier, followed by South Korea and Italy, and Chinese-origin molds carry Section 301 tariff exposure. The ductile iron pipe mold line (8480490010) is worth monitoring for antidumping or countervailing duty activity given the infrastructure-sector sensitivity of the downstream product.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The dedicated line (8480490010) reflects the commercial significance of ductile iron pressure pipe in US water infrastructure and the distinct tooling geometry of centrifugal casting molds — rotating cylindrical forms that differ substantially from static cavity molds. The separate line allows CBP and trade analysts to track this specific tooling import stream, which is relevant to domestic pipe manufacturing competitiveness.
The commercial invoice and technical specification sheet should explicitly state the casting method (centrifugal), the mold geometry (cylindrical rotating form), and the intended output material (ductile iron pipe). A manufacturer's declaration or engineering drawing confirming these parameters supports classification under 8480490010 and reduces the risk of reclassification to the broader NESOI line 8480490090.
