How to Import Extrusion Moulds from China to the USA Without Hassle?
For U.S. manufacturers, buying extrusion moulds from China can save a ton of money—but let’s be honest, the import process can feel confusing at first. Between shipping, customs, and communication, things might look overwhelming. But hey, don’t worry—we’ll make it simple.
Step 1: Choose the Right Supplier
Not every mould supplier is the same. Look for:
-
Experience — over 15–20 years in extrusion dies
-
Product range — PVC, WPC, ABS, foam, co-extrusion
-
Communication — English support for technical details
-
References — successful U.S. client cases
This ensures you’re working with a partner, not just a vendor.
Step 2: Confirm Technical Specs
Before placing an order, provide:
-
CAD drawings or product samples
-
Material type (PVC, WPC, ABS, etc.)
-
Expected profile tolerance
-
Production line details (extruder size, cooling system)
Clear specs avoid costly modifications later.
Step 3: Shipping & Logistics
Most U.S. buyers choose:
-
Air freight — faster, but more expensive
-
Sea freight — cost-effective for large moulds
Make sure your supplier prepares HS code documentation for customs. For extrusion dies, the HS code typically falls under 8480710000 (Injection or compression type moulds for rubber/plastics).
Step 4: Customs & Duties
In the U.S., import duty for moulds can range from 3%–5%, depending on category. Always confirm with your customs broker before shipment.
Step 5: After-Sales Support
A good China supplier will:
-
Provide online debugging assistance
-
Offer replacement parts quickly
-
Support design upgrades if needed
This way, your mould investment stays productive for years.
