U.S. imports of parts & accessories for weaving machines (looms) & their auxiliary machines (SITC 72467) totaled $2.3M in April 2026, traded with 34 countries.
Importers of Parts & Accessories for Weaving Machines (Looms) & Their Auxiliary Machines paid $240K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $2.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLoom parts and accessories — encompassing heddle frames, reeds, rapier tapes, projectile carriers, cam and dobby mechanisms, and electronic Jacquard modules — constitute a high-value aftermarket segment because weaving machines require continuous component replacement to maintain fabric quality and machine speed. The shift toward electronic Jacquard and dobby systems has increased the share of precision electronic components within this category, raising the importance of origin documentation for Section 301 exposure assessment. Importers should distinguish between parts designed exclusively for looms and those that could serve auxiliary machines, as the classification boundary affects which heading applies.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Electronic Jacquard modules designed and marketed specifically for use with weaving machines are generally classified as parts of weaving machines rather than as standalone electronic equipment, because their design is specific to the loom application. However, if a module is a general-purpose programmable controller that happens to be used on a loom, it may fall under electronic machinery headings. Detailed technical documentation from the manufacturer describing the module's intended use is essential to support the classification.
High-value loom parts typically require a commercial invoice with a detailed technical description, the manufacturer's part number, country of origin, and declared customs value; a packing list; and a bill of lading or airway bill. For electronic components, an export control classification number (ECCN) determination may be needed to confirm no export license is required from the country of export. If the parts originate from a country subject to antidumping or Section 301 orders covering textile machinery components, a certificate of origin and supporting manufacturing documentation will be critical.
