HS Code 8426.41 – Cranes; self-propelled derricks and cranes, on tyres, n.e.c. in heading no. 8426
HS code 8426.41 is the 6-digit subheading for cranes, self-propelled derricks and cranes, on tyres, n.e.c. in heading no. 8426. It is used for mobile crane, all-terrain crane, rough-terrain crane, truck-mounted crane (self-propelled) and pick-and-carry crane.
What HS 8426.41 covers
This HS code encompasses self-propelled derricks and cranes that operate on tyres, excluding those specifically designed for mounting on road vehicles. These are highly mobile heavy-lifting machines crucial for construction, infrastructure development, and industrial projects globally. Key players in international trade for these goods include major construction firms, rental companies, and government infrastructure departments in developing and developed nations alike. Exporters are typically industrialized countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities. Important considerations for trade include lifting capacity, boom length, safety certifications, and compliance with local road regulations for transport. The market is driven by global construction booms and infrastructure investments, making these machines vital for modern urban and industrial expansion.

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).
