HS Code 8426.19 – Cranes; transporter, gantry and bridge cranes
HS code 8426.19 is the 6-digit subheading for cranes, transporter, gantry and bridge cranes. It is used for rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes, shipyard gantry cranes, container stacking cranes, bulk handling gantry cranes and portal cranes (large industrial).
What HS 8426.19 covers
This HS code serves as a broader category for various transporter, gantry, and bridge cranes not specifically covered by the more defined subheadings. It typically includes large-scale, often rail-mounted, gantry cranes (RMGs), shipyard cranes, and other heavy-duty material handling systems used in ports, shipyards, heavy manufacturing, and construction. These cranes are vital for moving massive loads, such as ship sections, large industrial components, or stacking containers in terminals. Importers are often port operators, shipbuilding companies, and heavy industry firms, with exporters being global leaders in large-scale crane manufacturing. Key trading factors include lifting capacity, span, rail gauge, operational speed, and environmental resilience.

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).
