U.S. imports of parts & accessories of weaving machines (looms) & their auxiliary machinery (nesoi) (HS 844849) totaled $2.2M in July 2026, traded with 35 countries.
Importers of Parts & Accessories of Weaving Machines (Looms) & Their Auxiliary Machinery (NESOI) paid $226K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $2.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataShuttles and the broad residual category of loom parts and accessories not elsewhere specified are the two 10-digit lines within this subheading — 8448491000 for shuttles and 8448492000 for all other weaving machine and auxiliary machinery parts. Germany and Switzerland lead US imports, consistent with their roles as premier manufacturers of rapier, projectile, and air-jet loom technology. Importers of shuttle components should note that the shuttle line is a distinct classification from the general loom-parts line, and mixing the two on a single entry can trigger CBP classification queries.

This is a genuine classification edge case. Traditional shuttles carry a pirn of weft yarn through the shed, while projectile carriers grip a cut length of weft. CBP has historically treated projectile carriers as distinct from shuttles, which could place them under the residual line 8448492000. Importers should seek a binding ruling if importing projectile carriers in significant volume, as the duty treatment may differ.
Concentration among German and Swiss loom OEMs means that proprietary parts are often single-sourced, with long lead times and limited aftermarket alternatives. US mills operating rapier or projectile looms should maintain safety stock of critical wear parts and consider consignment inventory agreements with authorized distributors to mitigate the risk of extended downtime from overseas supply disruptions.
