HS Code 8201.30 – Tools, hand; mattocks, picks, hoes and rakes
HS code 8201.30 is the 6-digit subheading for tools, hand, mattocks, picks, hoes and rakes. It is used for garden rakes, digging hoes, pickaxes, mattocks and leaf rakes.
What HS 8201.30 covers
These fundamental hand tools, encompassing mattocks, picks, hoes, and rakes, are indispensable for ground preparation, cultivation, and landscaping across the globe, forming a significant segment of international trade in basic agricultural and horticultural implements. Developing nations frequently import these tools to bolster their agricultural productivity and support rural economies, while industrialized countries with robust manufacturing capabilities, such as China, India, and Germany, stand out as major exporters. The global trade in these items is consistently driven by seasonal demand for farming and gardening activities, large-scale infrastructure projects requiring extensive ground preparation, and the perennial need for manual labor tools in various sectors. Key considerations for importers and exporters include the quality of materials used (e.g., steel type for heads, durability of handles), ergonomic design to enhance user comfort and reduce fatigue, and compliance with international safety standards. The market is highly competitive, featuring both large-scale manufacturers leveraging economies of scale and smaller, specialized producers who often differentiate their products through innovative materials, improved designs, or niche applications. Understanding regional preferences for tool types and handle lengths is also crucial for successful market penetration.

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).
