U.S. imports of textile washing, bleaching, and dyeing machines (HS 845140) totaled $2.9M in August 2026, imported from 17 countries.
Importers of Textile Washing, Bleaching, and Dyeing Machines paid $338K in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 11.80% of the $2.9M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Textile Washing, Bleaching, and Dyeing Machines imports of $2.9M in August 2026 ran 88% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.5M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataJet dyeing machines, continuous bleaching ranges, and industrial washing equipment for yarns, fabrics, and made-up textile articles all consolidate into a single US tariff line (8451400000), so the commercial description on the entry must clearly identify the process function to support any post-entry audit. Spain and Italy are the top two US suppliers under this heading, reflecting Southern Europe's deep specialization in wet-processing machinery for the global textile industry, with Germany rounding out the European dominance. Buyers sourcing from multiple European origins should evaluate whether any applicable trade-remedy measures affect their specific machine configuration.

Yes — both continuous and batch wet-processing machines for textiles fall under 8451400000 at the 10-digit level. The heading covers washing, bleaching, and dyeing functions without further subdivision in the US schedule, so the process type does not change the tariff line, though it should be accurately described on commercial documents.
CBP generally requires a commercial invoice with a detailed machine description (process type, capacity, model number), packing list, and bill of lading. For high-value capital equipment, an importer may also need a manufacturer's certificate of origin and, if the machine contains controlled refrigerants or chemicals, relevant EPA compliance documentation. A licensed customs broker can advise on any additional requirements based on the specific configuration.
