U.S. exports of Duplicating Machines (SITC 75191) totaled $129K in August 2026, exported to 6 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataStencil duplicators, spirit duplicators, and similar analog reproduction machines — distinct from photocopiers and digital multifunction devices — occupy this heading, which has become a low-volume residual category as digital copying has largely supplanted older duplication technology. Certain markets in education and low-infrastructure environments continue to import risograph-style and stencil duplicators for cost-effective high-volume short-run printing. Importers should verify that a given machine does not qualify as a photocopier or multifunction device, which would place it under a different SITC heading.

Duplicating machines reproduce documents using a master stencil or spirit master rather than by optical or digital scanning of an original. Photocopiers and digital multifunction devices that scan and reproduce images electrophotographically or digitally classify under separate headings. The reproduction mechanism — stencil/spirit versus optical/digital — is the primary classification criterion.
Risograph and similar digital stencil duplicators occupy a classification gray zone. Because they use a stencil-based ink-transfer process rather than toner or inkjet technology, they have historically been classified as duplicating machines, but their digital master-making capability can invite scrutiny. Importers should review the specific machine's technical specifications and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the appropriate heading.
