HS Code 8443.31 – Printing, copying, and facsimile machines; machines which perform two or more of the functions of printing, copying or facsimile transmission, capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine or to a network

HS code 8443.31 is the 6-digit subheading for printing, copying, and facsimile machines, machines which perform two or more of the functions of printing, copying or facsimile transmission, capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine or to a network. It is used for multifunction laser printers, all-in-one inkjet printers, network-ready MFPs, office copiers with print/scan/fax and enterprise multifunction devices.

What HS 8443.31 covers

This HS code covers multifunction devices (MFDs) or 'all-in-one' machines that combine two or more functions of printing, copying, or facsimile transmission, and are capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine (computer) or a network. These devices are ubiquitous in modern offices, homes, and commercial settings, offering convenience, space-saving, and integrated document management solutions. Importers include businesses of all sizes, educational institutions, government offices, and individual consumers. Exporters are major electronics and office equipment manufacturers. Key aspects include network connectivity (Wi-Fi, Ethernet), scanning capabilities (often included), various printing technologies (laser, inkjet), and advanced features for digital workflows, making them essential tools for productivity.

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).
