SITCSection 7
U.S. imports of machines for working wire (SITC 73395) totaled $9.6M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Machines for Working Wire paid $1.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 17% on $9.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machines for Working Wire imports of $9.6M in April 2026 ran 15% below the year-to-date monthly average of $11.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataWire-working machines encompass a broad range of equipment — straightening, cutting, bending, forming, and coiling machines — used to convert wire rod or drawn wire into finished or semi-finished products such as springs, mesh, nails, and formed wire components. The heading is commercially significant to the construction, automotive, and consumer-goods sectors, all of which depend on high-speed wire-forming lines. Correct classification requires distinguishing wire-working machines from draw-benches (73391) and from wire-weaving or wire-netting machines, which fall under textile or other machinery headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Straightening-and-cutting machines, CNC wire-bending centers, spring coiling machines, nail-making machines, and wire-mesh welding lines all fall within this category. The common thread is that the input material is wire and the machine shapes, cuts, or forms it without removing material by machining.
A machine that performs both drawing and forming presents a classification challenge. CBP's general rule for multi-function machines looks to the principal function; if drawing is incidental to the forming operation, the machine may classify as a wire-working machine under 73395. If drawing is the primary purpose, 73391 may apply. A binding ruling from CBP is the most reliable way to resolve the ambiguity before importation.
