BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Definition and classification scope of subheading 8445 40

Subheading 8445 40 of the Combined Nomenclature covers machines for winding (reeling) textile yarn, including machines for rewinding yarn from one package form to another. This category includes automatic winders, cross-winders, reeling machines and machines for forming cone, cylindrical and cop packages. These machines rewind yarn from one package to another, changing the package form or removing yarn defects (knots, thick places) using electronic sensors. Classification under subheading 8445 40 is based on the notes to Chapter 84 of the CN and the General Rules for the Interpretation. Winding machines should be distinguished from warping machines (8445 20) and from twisting machines (8445 30). Where classification doubts arise, importers should apply for a BTI ruling.

Import requirements for yarn winding machines (8445 40)

Importing machines under subheading 8445 40 into the EU requires compliance with the Union Customs Code. The importer must hold an EORI number and file a customs declaration. These machines fall under the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, requiring CE marking, an EU declaration of conformity and operating instructions. They are subject to the Low Voltage Directive and EMC Directive. Automatic winders with electronic yarn quality sensors may be subject to additional software safety requirements. Multi-position machines require protective guards at each winding station. Import documentation includes commercial invoices, transport documents, technical specifications and CE declarations. MFN duty rates should be verified in TARIC.

Applications and trade in yarn winding machines (8445 40)

Machines under subheading 8445 40 are essential equipment in spinning and weaving mills. Automatic winders rewind yarn from spinning cops to cross-wound packages while removing yarn defects. Cone winders prepare yarn for the knitting process. Reeling machines create hanks for dyeing. Modern winders are equipped with electronic quality control systems, automatic splicing and defect removal. Major manufacturers include companies from Germany, Japan, Italy, China and India. MFN duty rates should be verified in TARIC. Preferential rates may be available under EU FTAs. Imports from Russia and Belarus are subject to sanctions. VAT is charged upon importation. Trade measures should be verified in TARIC.

Technical requirements for textile machinery CN 8445 40

Yarn winding/reeling machines under CN 8445 40 are subject to the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 requiring CE marking. Harmonised standards in the EN ISO 11111 series specify detailed safety requirements for textile machinery - guarding of moving parts, emergency stop systems, noise and vibration protection. Electrical machines must comply with the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. Importing used machinery requires verification of compliance with current EU standards. Spare parts are classified under the appropriate machine subheading per Section XVI Note 2.

Frequently asked questions

What machines does subheading 8445 40 cover?
Subheading 8445 40 covers yarn winding and reeling machines. This includes automatic winders, cross-winders, reeling machines and cone package formers. These machines rewind yarn from one package to another, changing the package form or removing defects. It does not cover warping machines (8445 20) or twisting machines (8445 30).
What CE requirements apply to yarn winding machines?
Yarn winders imported into the EU must bear CE marking under the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. An EU declaration of conformity, risk assessment and operating instructions are required. Multi-position machines require protective guards at each station. Winders with electronic sensors may be subject to additional software safety requirements. They are subject to the Low Voltage Directive and EMC Directive.
How does subheading 8445 40 differ from 8445 20?
Subheading 8445 40 covers yarn winding machines (rewinders, reelers, automatic winders), while 8445 20 covers warp preparation machines (warping, sizing machines). Machines under 8445 40 rewind yarn into various package forms, while those under 8445 20 prepare the warp for looms. Classification depends on the machine purpose.
Do used yarn winding/reeling machines (8445 40) require safety guard upgrades?
Used yarn winding/reeling machines under CN 8445 40 imported from outside the EU must meet Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 requirements.
