Last updated: July 2026 dataShuttleless looms — including rapier and jet (air-jet and water-jet) types — dominate modern broad-fabric weaving for their higher speeds and versatility across fiber types, making this heading one of the most commercially significant in textile machinery trade. The US schedule provides seven 10-digit lines distinguishing power rapier looms (8446301010), power jet looms (8446301020), other power shuttleless looms (8446301030), and their non-power counterparts (8446305010, 8446305020, 8446305030, 8446300000). Japan and Italy are the leading US suppliers, with Belgium and Germany also prominent — a supply profile reflecting the global leaders in rapier and air-jet loom manufacturing. Importers should pay close attention to the rapier-versus-jet distinction and the power-versus-non-power split when selecting the correct 10-digit line.

7 shipments/mo
A machine designed to operate in multiple weft-insertion modes should be classified based on its principal or predominant function under GRI 3(c) if no single mode clearly dominates. In practice, the manufacturer's designation and the mode used in the buyer's production environment are relevant factors. A CBP binding ruling is strongly recommended for dual-mode equipment to avoid misclassification among the seven available 10-digit lines.
Spare parts for rapier and jet looms — such as rapier heads, reed assemblies, and nozzle components — are classified separately from the looms themselves, typically under Chapter 84 parts provisions. Importers operating Japanese or Italian equipment should establish parts supply agreements and verify HTS classifications for critical components independently, as parts duty rates and any applicable trade-remedy exposure may differ from the parent machine.
