HS Code 8436.99 – Machinery; parts of that machinery for agricultural, horticultural or forestry use n.e.c. in heading no. 8436
HS code 8436.99 is the 6-digit subheading for machinery, parts of that machinery for agricultural, horticultural or forestry use n.e.c. in heading no. 8436. It is used for sprayer nozzles, harvester blades, planter discs, cultivator tines and forestry grapple components.
What HS 8436.99 covers
This category encompasses a wide array of parts for agricultural, horticultural, and forestry machinery that are not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 8436, excluding poultry-keeping machinery parts (which fall under 843691). It includes components for specialized equipment used in soil preparation, planting, harvesting, post-harvest processing, and forestry management. The trade in these parts is crucial for the global agricultural and forestry sectors, enabling the repair, maintenance, and upgrading of existing machinery. Major importers are often countries with extensive agricultural or forestry industries, relying on a steady supply of spare parts to minimize downtime. Exporters are typically nations with robust manufacturing capabilities in heavy machinery and precision engineering. Key aspects include the need for high-quality, durable parts that can withstand demanding operational conditions and ensure the longevity of expensive capital equipment.

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).
