HS Code 8422.90 – Machinery; parts of machinery of heading no. 8422

HS code 8422.90 is the 6-digit subheading for machinery, parts of machinery of heading no. 8422. It is used for conveyor belts for packaging machines, sealing jaws, label applicator heads, filling nozzles and capping chucks.

What HS 8422.90 covers

This category specifically covers the components and spare parts essential for the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of the diverse range of packaging and handling machinery classified under HS 8422. This includes parts for filling, sealing, labeling, packing, and wrapping machines, as well as dishwashing and cleaning machinery. The international trade in these parts is critical for sustaining global manufacturing operations, as machinery downtime can be extremely costly. Importers are typically manufacturers who own and operate the main machinery, as well as service providers and distributors specializing in industrial equipment maintenance. Exporters are often the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or specialized parts suppliers. Key considerations include part compatibility, durability, availability, and the speed of delivery, especially for critical wear-and-tear components. The market for these parts is directly influenced by the installed base and operational lifespan of the main machinery.

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).
