Last updated: August 2026 dataWinding and reeling machines — including weft winders — are essential downstream equipment in yarn preparation, transferring yarn onto bobbins, cones, or beams in forms suitable for weaving or knitting operations. All US imports under this heading enter under a single 10-digit line (8445400000), simplifying classification but placing greater emphasis on accurate valuation and country-of-origin documentation. Germany and Japan are among the leading suppliers, reflecting the concentration of precision textile machinery manufacturing in those markets. Buyers sourcing used or refurbished equipment should be aware that the same HTS line applies regardless of machine age, and that transfer-of-title documentation affects customs valuation.

Yes — 8445400000 covers all textile winding and reeling machines, including cone winders, cheese winders, beam winders, and weft winders, as long as their principal function is winding or reeling textile yarn. If a machine also performs twisting or doubling as its primary function, reclassification under heading 8445.30 may be warranted.
Used machinery is typically valued on a transaction-value basis using the actual purchase price, but CBP may request appraisals or comparable sales data if the declared value appears inconsistent with market norms. Importers of used equipment should retain purchase agreements, inspection reports, and any depreciation schedules to support the declared value.
