About heading 8445

Machines for preparing textile fibers; spinning, doubling or twisting machines and other machinery for producing textile yarns; textile reeling or winding (including weft winding) machines and machines for preparing textile yarns for use on the machines of heading 8446 or 8447

Heading 8445 covers machines that turn raw textile fiber into yarn: fiber preparation machines such as carding, combing, drawing and roving frames, machines that spin, double or twist yarn, and machines that wind or reel yarn. The heading is split by function, starting with fiber preparation subheadings 8445.11 through 8445.19, then spinning at 8445.20, doubling or twisting at 8445.30, winding or reeling at 8445.40, and a residual other line at 8445.90. Most yarn production machinery enters free of duty, while cotton gins, winding machines and the residual lines carry a low rate.
