HS Code 8443.32 – Printing, copying, and facsimile machines; single-function printing, copying or facsimile machines, capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine or to a network

HS code 8443.32 is the 6-digit subheading for printing, copying, and facsimile machines, single-function printing, copying or facsimile machines, capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine or to a network. It is used for single-function laser printers, dedicated inkjet printers, network-ready monochrome printers, professional photo printers and label printers (networkable).

What HS 8443.32 covers

This category covers single-function printing, copying, or facsimile machines that are capable of connecting to an automatic data processing machine (computer) or a network. This includes dedicated laser printers, inkjet printers, and specialized photo printers that perform only one primary task but offer network capabilities for shared use or remote printing. These devices are found in homes, offices, and specialized environments where a single, high-performance function is prioritized over multifunctionality, such as high-volume monochrome printing in a corporate setting or professional photo output in a design studio. Importers are consumers, businesses, and specialized print shops. Exporters are leading electronics and printer manufacturers. Key aspects include high-speed printing, specific print quality (e.g., photo printers), and network connectivity for seamless integration into digital environments.

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).
