HS Code 8204.11 – Tools, hand; hand-operated spanners and wrenches (including torque meter wrenches but not including tap wrenches), non-adjustable
HS code 8204.11 is the 6-digit subheading for tools, hand, hand-operated spanners and wrenches (including torque meter wrenches but not including tap wrenches), non-adjustable. It is used for combination wrenches, open-end wrenches, box-end wrenches, fixed socket wrenches and non-adjustable torque wrenches.
What HS 8204.11 covers
This HS code covers non-adjustable, hand-operated spanners and wrenches, including fixed torque meter wrenches, which are fundamental tools for tightening or loosening fasteners like nuts and bolts. These tools are essential across virtually all industries, including mechanical assembly, automotive repair, construction, and general maintenance, where precise and consistent torque application is often required. Importers typically include industrial distributors, hardware stores, and automotive parts suppliers, catering to both professional and DIY markets. Exporters are often large-scale tool manufacturers with extensive product lines, known for their quality and durability. Key aspects influencing trade include the tool's material strength (e.g., chrome vanadium steel), the precision of its jaw opening, and ergonomic design for optimal leverage and user comfort during prolonged use.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
