25mm Single Screw Thermoplastic Extruder

A compact single-screw extruder with a 25mm screw diameter designed for processing thermoplastics like polyethylene and polypropylene into profiles or sheets. It falls under HTS 8477.20.0035 because it is a single-screw extruder for thermoplastics with screw size less than 6.4 cm, used in small-scale plastic fabrication. Ideal for lab or pilot production lines.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8477.20.00Same rate: 38.1%

If screw diameter is 6.4 cm or larger

Extruders with screws 6.4cm+ fall into the next statistical suffix, changing duty application based on size threshold.

8477.10Lower: 13.1% vs 38.1%

If used primarily for rubber injection molding

Rubber-working extruders are classified under a separate subheading in 8477.10, based on material specificity in Chapter notes.

8479.89.65.00Lower: 20.3% vs 38.1%

If imported as a complete machine set for semiconductor wafer processing

Specialized plastic extruders for semiconductor materials may shift to Chapter 84 provisions for semiconductor manufacturing machines.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify screw diameter certification from manufacturer to confirm <6.4cm classification and avoid reclassification to larger screw subheadings

Include detailed technical specs and end-use statement in entry docs to prove thermoplastic processing, preventing misclassification as rubber machinery

Check for USMCA eligibility if from Canada/Mexico; ensure CE marking if from EU for safety compliance
