HS Code 8412.29 – Engines; hydraulic power engines and motors, other than linear acting (cylinders)
HS code 8412.29 is the 6-digit subheading for engines, hydraulic power engines and motors, other than linear acting (cylinders). It is used for gear hydraulic motors, vane hydraulic motors, piston hydraulic motors (radial and axial), orbital hydraulic motors and high-torque low-speed hydraulic motors.
What HS 8412.29 covers
This category includes rotary hydraulic motors and other non-linear hydraulic power engines, which convert hydraulic fluid power into rotational mechanical motion. These devices provide torque and speed for a vast array of industrial and mobile applications, such as conveyor systems, winches, mixers, and various types of heavy equipment. International trade is fueled by the demand for efficient and powerful rotary actuators across manufacturing, marine, construction, and agricultural sectors. Importers are typically machinery manufacturers, system integrators, and MRO providers. Exporters are specialized hydraulic component manufacturers. The market emphasizes durability, precision, and power density, with trade volumes reflecting global industrial output and technological advancements in fluid power systems, ensuring continuous operation of critical machinery.

Codes often confused with 8412.29
Common mistake. This code can be confused with 841221 (linear acting hydraulic cylinders) if the distinction between linear and rotary motion is not clear, or with 8413 (hydraulic pumps) as some units can function as both pump and motor.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 841229, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 841229 in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 16% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 17% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

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).
