U.S. imports of sheet-fed office-type offset printing machinery (HS 844312) totaled $7K in April 2026, traded with 1 country.
Sheet-Fed Office-Type Offset Printing Machinery imports of $7K in April 2026 ran 90% below the year-to-date monthly average of $67K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataOffice-type sheet-fed offset presses are defined by their compact sheet size — not exceeding 22 × 36 cm — distinguishing them from larger commercial sheet-fed equipment classified elsewhere. This size threshold is the critical classification boundary: a machine printing on sheets larger than 22 × 36 cm does not belong here regardless of its offset printing method. Germany is the primary supplier, with China a growing source. Importers should note that Chinese-origin units may carry Section 301 exposure, while the single 10-digit line (8443120000) means all qualifying machines enter under one statistical reporting code.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The heading is limited to machines handling sheets not exceeding 22 × 36 cm. Any offset press capable of printing on sheets larger than those dimensions is classified under a different subheading — typically 844313 for sheet-fed offset machinery not elsewhere specified. Verifying the maximum sheet capacity in the manufacturer's specifications is essential before filing an entry.
If the machine is capable of connecting to an ADP machine or network and performs two or more functions (printing, copying, fax), it is more specifically described by heading 844331, which covers multifunction machines. A standalone offset press that only prints would remain under 844312 if it meets the sheet-size criterion. Classification should be based on the machine's primary design and capability as documented by the manufacturer.
