HS Code 8450.19 – Washing machines; household or laundry-type, not fully-automatic, without built-in centrifugal drier, of a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10kg
HS code 8450.19 is the 6-digit subheading for washing machines, household or laundry-type, not fully-automatic, without built-in centrifugal drier, of a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10kg. It is used for single-tub semi-automatic washing machine, manual washing machine (electric), portable non-automatic washer, basic agitator washing machine and mini washing machine without spin.
What HS 8450.19 covers
This HS code pertains to household washing machines that are not fully automatic and lack a built-in centrifugal drier, designed for a dry linen capacity not exceeding 10kg. These machines often represent entry-level or highly budget-conscious options, requiring manual intervention for tasks like transferring clothes for drying or setting wash cycles. They are particularly prevalent in markets where affordability is a primary concern, or in regions where traditional washing methods are still common. The international trade in these appliances serves a specific segment of the global consumer market, often in developing countries or areas with limited infrastructure. Major importers are typically nations with large populations seeking cost-effective home solutions, such as India, Nigeria, and Indonesia. Exporters are predominantly manufacturing powerhouses like China and India, which specialize in producing a wide range of consumer goods at competitive prices. Key factors in this trade include manufacturing cost efficiency, product durability, and meeting basic functional requirements without advanced features.

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).
