Last updated: August 2026 dataWashing machines with a dry linen capacity exceeding 10 kilograms — including combination washer-dryer units — occupy a distinct commercial tier used in on-premises laundry, hospitality, and healthcare settings. The capacity threshold separates these machines from smaller consumer appliances and places them in a separate SITC category with different competitive dynamics. Section 301 tariffs have affected imports of large washing machines from certain origins, and importers should also be aware of any applicable antidumping or countervailing duty orders that may be in force on large residential or commercial laundry equipment.
