U.S. exports of Textile Spinning Machines (HS 844520) totaled $852K in August 2026.
Importers of Textile Spinning Machines paid $65K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.27% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Textile Spinning Machines imports of $580K in August 2026 ran 148% above the year-to-date monthly average of $234K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataRing frames, open-end rotor spinning machines, air-jet spinners, and other equipment that inserts twist into drafted fiber to produce yarn are classified under this heading, serving as the core production asset of spun-yarn mills worldwide. Japan leads US import supply, followed by Canada and New Zealand. The heading resolves to a single US tariff line (8445200000), so classification is straightforward once the machine's principal function — final twist insertion to form yarn — is confirmed, distinguishing it from upstream drawing or roving machines (844513).

Yes. The heading is technology-neutral and covers all machine types whose principal function is inserting twist into a fiber strand to produce yarn — including ring frames, rotor (open-end) spinning machines, friction spinning machines, and air-jet spinning systems. The single US tariff line (8445200000) does not subdivide by spinning technology.
If the winding function is integral to and subordinate to the spinning operation — as in a ring frame with a built-in bobbin — the machine is still classified as a spinning machine under 8445200000. If the winding function is the principal operation and spinning is secondary, or if the winding unit is a separate, attachable machine, classification may shift to a different heading. A binding ruling is advisable for integrated spin-wind systems where the principal function is ambiguous.
