U.S. imports of machinery for treating metal (n.e.s.), including electric wire coil-winders (SITC 72846) totaled $17.4M in April 2026, traded with 29 countries.
Importers of Machinery for Treating Metal (N.E.S.), Including Electric Wire Coil-Winders paid $2.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $16.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Machinery for Treating Metal (N.E.S.), Including Electric Wire Coil-Winders imports of $17.4M in April 2026 ran 36% below the year-to-date monthly average of $27.0M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMetal-treatment machinery that does not fall under more specific headings — including electric wire coil-winding machines, annealing furnaces, pickling lines, and surface-treatment equipment — is captured here. Coil-winders are explicitly named in the heading description, reflecting their commercial significance to the electrical-equipment and motor-manufacturing industries. Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum do not directly apply to this machinery category, but Section 301 measures may affect equipment sourced from China depending on the specific HTS line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Coil-winders are explicitly named because they could otherwise be ambiguously classified as electrical machinery. The SITC description anchors them here as metal-working equipment, since their primary function is forming and winding metal wire or conductors — a metal-treatment process — rather than generating or transforming electrical energy.
Multi-function machines are classified by their principal function under GRI 3. If metal treatment is the dominant commercial purpose, the machine belongs here; if cutting or another process predominates, a different heading may apply. Importers should obtain a detailed functional breakdown from the manufacturer and consult a licensed customs broker to support the classification.
