HS Code 8424.90 – Mechanical appliances; parts of machines projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders, whether or not hand-operated
HS code 8424.90 is the 6-digit subheading for mechanical appliances, parts of machines projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders, whether or not hand-operated. It is used for spray nozzles, pump assemblies for sprayers, pressure regulators, spray gun tips and hose assemblies for blasting machines.
What HS 8424.90 covers
This HS code is dedicated to the parts and accessories of all the machines classified under the broader 8424 heading, which includes fire extinguishers, spray guns, blasting machines, and various spraying/dispersing appliances. International trade in these parts is crucial for the maintenance, repair, and customization of existing equipment across diverse industries. Importers are typically service centers, equipment distributors, and large industrial users who perform in-house maintenance, ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of their machinery. Exporters are often the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or specialized parts suppliers. The market is driven by the installed base of machinery and the continuous need for reliable spare parts to ensure operational continuity, extend equipment lifespan, and adapt to evolving operational requirements.

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).
