HS Code 8465.92 – Machine-tools; for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials; planing, milling or moulding (by cutting) machines
HS code 8465.92 is the 6-digit subheading for machine-tools, for working wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics or similar hard materials, planing, milling or moulding (by cutting) machines. It is used for wood planers, thicknessers, spindle moulders, routers (industrial) and edge banders (moulding).
What HS 8465.92 covers
This HS code encompasses machine-tools dedicated to planing, milling, or moulding (by cutting) operations on wood, cork, bone, hard rubber, hard plastics, and similar hard materials. These machines are crucial for achieving precise dimensions, smooth surfaces, and intricate profiles in various manufacturing applications. They are indispensable in the furniture industry, custom millwork, architectural joinery, and the production of specialized plastic components. International trade in these machines is significant, reflecting the global demand for high-quality finished products and efficient material processing. Importers include countries with thriving construction, furniture, and plastics industries, such as the USA, Germany, and China, who require advanced machinery to maintain competitive production standards. Exporters are typically nations with strong engineering capabilities and a history of producing precision industrial equipment, notably Germany, Italy, and Japan. The market values machines that offer high accuracy, versatility in tooling, and robust construction for continuous industrial use.

Top exporters and importers of HS code 846592, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 846592 in UN Comtrade data was China, with 31% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 23% of world imports. Vietnam did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 5.2% of its imports here ($1.6M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

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. UN Comtrade records Taiwan as "Other Asia, not elsewhere specified". Saudi Arabia's exports under that code are left out: they are far too large to be trade with Taiwan, so mostly undisclosed partners. 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).
