Last updated: April 2026 dataReeds, healds, and heald-frames are the precision motion-control components that guide individual warp threads through the weaving shed, and their dimensional tolerances are dictated by the loom type and fabric specification. Czech Republic leads US supply of these components, with Germany and Japan also significant — a supplier profile that reflects Central and Western Europe's deep specialization in precision loom hardware. All three component types are consolidated at 10-digit code 8448420000, making classification straightforward, though importers should confirm that composite heald-frames are not reclassified as structural loom parts under a different heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, reeds, healds, and heald-frames are all classified under the single 10-digit line 8448420000, so a combined shipment of these components does not require splitting across multiple tariff lines. The commercial invoice should itemize each component type and quantity separately to facilitate accurate statistical reporting.
Reed dent count (dents per centimeter or inch), reed width, wire gauge, and frame material (stainless steel vs. carbon steel) must match the loom's specifications precisely. Importers should request mill certificates or dimensional inspection reports from suppliers, particularly when switching from a European to an Asian source, to avoid costly loom downtime from out-of-tolerance components.
