HS Code 3824.10 – Binders, prepared; for foundry moulds or cores
HS code 3824.10 is the 6-digit subheading for binders, prepared, for foundry moulds or cores. It is used for furan resin binders, phenolic resin binders, alkyd resin binders, silicate binders and cold box binders.
What HS 3824.10 covers
This HS code specifically covers prepared binders used in foundries for creating molds and cores in metal casting processes. These binders are crucial for ensuring the structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, and overall quality of the cast metal products. Key importers and exporters include foundries, metal casting companies, automotive manufacturers, industrial machinery producers, and chemical suppliers specializing in foundry materials. The trade in these binders is vital for the global manufacturing sector, as they must withstand high temperatures, provide sufficient strength to the mold, and allow for easy shakeout after casting, with increasing focus on environmental regulations regarding emissions.

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).
