HS 8448.32 covers Machines; parts and accessories of machines or auxiliary machinery for preparing textile fibres, other than card clothing. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it.

India exported $42.3M under this code worldwide in 2024, about 0.1% of all Chapter 84 exports, ranking #1 of 11 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

8448.32 is the six-digit HS subheading for machines. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many machinery & electrical equipment lines — check our import guides for your market.
