U.S. imports of textile doubling or twisting machines (HS 844530) totaled $160K in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Importers of Textile Doubling or Twisting Machines paid $16K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $160K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Textile Doubling or Twisting Machines imports of $160K in April 2026 ran 41% below the year-to-date monthly average of $272K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataDoubling and twisting machines are capital equipment used in yarn manufacturing to combine multiple strands or impart twist, directly affecting yarn strength, texture, and end-use suitability for apparel or technical textiles. The US tariff schedule separates twisting machines (8445300010) from doubling machines (8445300090), a distinction that matters for classification when a single machine performs both functions. Germany leads US imports under this heading, with Spain and Italy also significant sources — all established European textile machinery exporters whose equipment often commands premium pricing tied to precision engineering. Importers should confirm whether any unit qualifies as a combination machine, as misclassification between the two 10-digit lines is a common audit trigger.

The key distinction is the machine's primary mechanical function: twisting machines impart helical twist to a single yarn or combined strands, while doubling machines bring two or more yarns together without necessarily adding twist. Machines that perform both operations may require a principal-use or essential-character analysis. Consulting a licensed customs broker or CBP binding ruling is advisable when the function is ambiguous.
These machines are industrial capital goods and are not currently subject to Section 301 tariffs as a category, but importers should verify the current status of any applicable trade measures at the time of entry, as trade-remedy coverage can change. A licensed customs broker can confirm the duty treatment for a specific shipment.
