Last updated: April 2026 dataConsumer and semi-professional sewing machines intended for home use split at the 10-digit level by unit value: machines valued at $20 or less each (8452100010) versus those valued over $20 each (8452100090), a threshold that affects duty calculation and statistical reporting. Vietnam is the dominant US supplier under this heading, having become the primary assembly hub for major sewing machine brands that shifted production from Japan and Taiwan over the past two decades. Taiwan and Thailand remain significant secondary sources, particularly for mid-range mechanical models.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule subdivides household sewing machines at 8452100010 (valued not over $20 each) and 8452100090 (valued over $20 each). The correct line must be declared based on the transaction value per unit, and misclassification — even by a small margin — can trigger a CBP inquiry. Importers should ensure the commercial invoice clearly states the per-unit value and that it aligns with the declared HTS line.
Vietnam has emerged as the leading source of household sewing machines imported into the US, largely displacing Japan and Taiwan as major brands relocated assembly operations to take advantage of lower manufacturing costs. Taiwan retains a role as a supplier of higher-specification mechanical machines, while Thailand serves as an additional assembly base for several global brands.
