Last updated: April 2026 dataReplacement and service parts for typewriters and dedicated word processing machines occupy this narrow heading, which has declined in commercial volume as standalone word processors have been largely supplanted by general-purpose computers. Residual demand comes primarily from government agencies, archival institutions, and specialty markets that maintain legacy typewriter fleets. Importers should note that parts for machines with both typewriting and computing functions may be more appropriately classified under the multi-use parts heading (75980) if the component is equally suitable for ADP equipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Parts equally suitable for typewriters and ADP machines should be classified under the multi-use parts heading (75980) rather than here. This heading is reserved for parts whose use is specific to typewriters or dedicated word processing machines.
Section 301 tariffs have applied broadly to parts and components from certain countries, and typewriter parts are not categorically exempt. Importers should check the specific HTS subheading applicable to their product against current Section 301 annexes, as coverage at this level of specificity can be counterintuitive.
