U.S. imports of Parts for Paper-Making-Up, Pulp, and Paperboard Machinery, Not Elsewhere Specified (SITC 72599) totaled $28.6M in August 2026, imported from 54 countries.
Importers of Parts for Paper-Making-Up, Pulp, and Paperboard Machinery, Not Elsewhere Specified paid $2.5M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 9.49% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataParts for the converting end of the paper industry — components for paper cutting machines, bag-and-envelope makers, carton-forming lines, and molding equipment — are captured in this NES parts heading when no more specific parts classification applies. The heading complements the NES machinery heading and similarly requires a prior elimination of more specific parts categories. Supply-chain managers sourcing aftermarket or OEM replacement parts for paper-converting lines should confirm that the parent machine is a making-up or converting unit rather than a primary papermaking or pulping machine, as the two parts headings are mutually exclusive.

Parts for a corrugated box-forming machine belong here, under parts for paper-making-up machinery, because the parent machine is a converting/making-up unit rather than a primary papermaking or pulping machine. The distinction between primary paper production machinery and paper-converting machinery is the key classification boundary between the two parts headings.
The NES designation means this heading should only be used after confirming that no specific parts heading covers the component in question. If a part belongs to a pulping or papermaking machine, it falls under the dedicated parts heading for those machines. Using the NES heading without that prior analysis can result in a classification error that CBP may flag during a post-entry audit. Maintaining a written classification rationale in the import file mitigates this risk.
