HS code 8436.29 is the 6-digit subheading for poultry-keeping machinery, other than incubators and brooders. It is used for automatic poultry feeders, nipple drinking systems, egg collection conveyors, manure removal systems and poultry house ventilation fans.
What HS 8436.29 covers
This HS code covers a wide array of machinery used in poultry farming, excluding incubators and brooders, which fall under 843621. This includes equipment for feeding, watering, waste management, egg collection, and environmental control within poultry houses. Importers are typically commercial poultry farms, from broiler operations to egg-laying facilities, seeking to modernize and optimize their production processes. Exporters are often specialized manufacturers of agricultural and livestock equipment. The trade in these machines is driven by the global demand for poultry products, the need for efficient and humane animal husbandry, and compliance with environmental and animal welfare regulations. Key considerations include automation levels, hygiene design, durability, and the ability to improve operational efficiency and reduce labor costs in large-scale poultry operations.

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. 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).
