Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8448 when importing auxiliary machinery designed for textile machines, such as dobbies and jacquards. For instance, if you are bringing in a jacquard machine used in weaving, this heading is relevant.

When determining the correct HS-6 code, consider the specific function of the machinery. For example, 844811 is for dobbies and jacquards, while 844819 covers other auxiliary machines not specifically listed, such as those for various textile processes.

If your equipment includes parts for weaving machines, you might choose 844842 for looms and their accessories. However, if the parts are for auxiliary machinery related to spinning, consider 844833 for spindles and related components.

The distinction between 844851 and 844859 lies in the specific use of the parts. If your shipment includes needles and sinkers for stitching, use 844851; for other machine parts, 844859 is appropriate.
