U.S. imports of draw-benches for metal bars, tubes, profiles, and wire (SITC 73391) totaled $2.7M in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Importers of Draw-Benches for Metal Bars, Tubes, Profiles, and Wire paid $433K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $2.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Draw-Benches for Metal Bars, Tubes, Profiles, and Wire imports of $2.7M in April 2026 ran 28% below the year-to-date monthly average of $3.7M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataDraw-benches pull metal stock — bars, tubes, profiles, and wire — through a die to reduce cross-section and improve dimensional tolerance, a cold-working process central to precision tubing and specialty wire production. Unlike rolling mills, draw-benches impart work-hardening in a single linear pass, making them the preferred equipment for tight-tolerance aerospace and hydraulic tubing. Classification hinges on the machine being designed for cold-drawing of solid or hollow metal sections rather than extrusion or rolling, which are governed by separate headings.

SITC 73391 covers draw-benches used for bars, tubes, and profiles as well as wire, while SITC 73395 specifically addresses machines for working wire. In practice, a multi-die continuous wire-drawing machine is more likely classified under 73395, whereas a single-die bench pulling bar or tube stock fits 73391. The form of the input workpiece and the machine's mechanical configuration are the deciding factors.
Precision tubing manufacturers serving aerospace, automotive, and hydraulic-system markets are the dominant buyers. Specialty fastener and medical-device wire producers also rely on draw-benches to achieve the tight dimensional tolerances and surface finishes that rolling cannot deliver.
