U.S. imports of printers, copying machines & facsimile machines, not combined (nesoi) (HS 844339) totaled $9.8M in August 2026, imported from 38 countries.
Importers of Printers, Copying Machines & Facsimile Machines, Not Combined (NESOI) paid $640K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 6.54% of the $9.8M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Printers, Copying Machines & Facsimile Machines, Not Combined (NESOI) imports of $9.8M in August 2026 ran 35% above the year-to-date monthly average of $7.2M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataElectrostatic, optical, contact-type, and thermocopying apparatus that cannot connect to a data-processing machine or network fall here — the key distinction from heading 844332 is the absence of ADP or network connectivity. China is the dominant US import source for this residual heading, with the Philippines and Vietnam also significant suppliers. The seven US tariff lines (8443391000 through 8443399000) separate machines by imaging process — direct electrostatic, indirect electrostatic, optical-system photocopiers, contact-type, thermocopying, and residual copying and printing machinery — making process-level documentation essential for correct classification.

The dividing line is network or ADP connectivity. A copier or fax machine capable of connecting to a computer network or automatic data processing machine belongs under 844332; one that lacks that capability — even if otherwise identical in function — falls under 844339. Importers should obtain technical specifications confirming connectivity features before classification.
The US schedule distinguishes direct-process electrostatic copiers (8443391000), indirect-process electrostatic copiers (8443392000), and copiers using an optical system (8443393000). The imaging process — not the output format or speed — drives the correct 10-digit line, so technical documentation describing the exposure and transfer method is the key supporting record.
