HS Code 8445.19 – Textile machinery; n.e.c. in heading no. 8445, for preparing textile fibres
HS code 8445.19 is the 6-digit subheading for textile machinery, n.e.c. in heading no. 8445, for preparing textile fibres. It is used for carding machines, combing machines, blowroom lines, bale openers and fiber blenders.
What HS 8445.19 covers
This 'not elsewhere specified' HS code within 84451x covers a range of other machinery for preparing textile fibers, excluding drawing and roving machines. This includes essential processes like opening, cleaning, carding, and combing, which are fundamental to transforming raw fibers into a suitable state for spinning. The international trade in these machines is crucial for the global textile industry, especially in regions with robust spinning and weaving sectors. Importers are textile mills seeking to improve fiber quality, reduce waste, and enhance the overall efficiency of their yarn production. Exporters are specialized manufacturers of textile machinery, often offering integrated solutions for fiber preparation. This code represents the diverse array of equipment necessary to ensure the quality and consistency of textile fibers before they enter the spinning process.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
