HS Code 8426.99 – Cranes and derricks; for other than mounting on road vehicles, n.e.c. in heading no. 8426
HS code 8426.99 is the 6-digit subheading for cranes and derricks, for other than mounting on road vehicles, n.e.c. in heading no. 8426. It is used for overhead travelling crane, gantry crane, tower crane, jib crane and shipyard crane.
What HS 8426.99 covers
This is a residual category for cranes and derricks that are not self-propelled and not designed for mounting on road vehicles. This broad classification includes a wide array of lifting equipment such as overhead travelling cranes, gantry cranes, tower cranes, and fixed marine cranes. These are essential for manufacturing facilities, shipyards, ports, and large construction sites where fixed or semi-fixed lifting solutions are required. International trade involves industrial equipment manufacturers exporting to factories, port authorities, and major construction project developers. Key factors in their trade include specific application requirements, lifting capacity, span, height, and compliance with industrial safety standards. Their deployment is critical for efficient material flow and vertical construction.

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).
