HS Code 8420.99 – Machines; parts, (other than cylinders), for calendering or other rolling machines, for other than metal or glass
HS code 8420.99 is the 6-digit subheading for machines, parts, (other than cylinders), for calendering or other rolling machines, for other than metal or glass. It is used for gearboxes, bearings, frames, drive systems and control panels.
What HS 8420.99 covers
This HS code covers all parts, *excluding* the cylinders, for calendering and other rolling machines used to process materials other than metal or glass. This includes a wide array of components essential for the operation, control, and structural integrity of these machines, which are vital in industries such as plastics, rubber, textiles, and paper. The trade in these parts supports the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of existing calendering equipment globally. Key players include original equipment manufacturers, specialized parts suppliers, and industrial distributors. Importers are typically manufacturing facilities that rely on these machines and need to ensure their continuous and efficient operation. The demand is driven by the need for spare parts, technological upgrades, and customization to meet evolving production requirements and extend the lifespan of valuable industrial assets.

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).
